Question
RESEARCH STUDY 13.2: Dr. LaGuardia is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the effect of brain concussions on the ability to recognize faces. They conduct a quasi-experimental study in which they examine football players before and after the regular season using the Benton Facial Recognition Test (a published, widely used measure of one’s ability to recognize faces) to compare those who received concussions to those who did not. They find that players who had concussions during the regular season performed worse on the Benton Facial Recognition Test than did players who did not experience concussions.
If Dr. LaGuardia had instead been interested in conducting a small-N design, which of the following might they have done?
If Dr. LaGuardia had instead been interested in conducting a small-N design, which of the following might they have done?

B Dr. LaGuardia would have likely collected other additional dependent measures.
C Dr. LaGuardia would have collected fewer types of data.
D Dr. LaGuardia would not have compared participants’ performance on the Facial Recognition Test to other groups.
