D direct replication.
Question #19
A Dr. LaGuardia would have collected fewer types of data.
B Dr. LaGuardia would not have compared participants’ performance on the Facial Recognition Test to other groups.
C Dr. LaGuardia would have likely selected a topic where he expected a small effect size.
D Dr. LaGuardia would have likely collected other additional dependent measures.
Question #20
A maturation threat
B design confounds
C regression to the mean

Question #21
A Because Dr. LaGuardia’s dependent variable was assessed in the laboratory, the study has limited external validity.
