Which of the following studies should we trust the most?

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. Which of the following makes Dr. LaGuardia’s quasi-experimental study different from a correlational study?

Explain why quasi-experiments and correlational studies can be seen as similar but why quasi-experiments are superior in internal validity.

RESEARCH STUDY 13.3: Dr. Anderson is a nutritionist who helps clients lose weight prior to surgery. She is working with W. J., a male client who is planning on undergoing a heart transplant. He currently eats more than 3,500 calories a day and has been asked by his doctor to cut the number of calories to about 1,800 (400 for breakfast, 600 for lunch, and 800 for dinner). She is curious as to whether a food journal will help W. J. reduce the number of calories he eats. A food journal is used to record everything a person eats to help patients be more aware of what they’re eating. W. J.’s partner also recorded the food he consumed at each meal to have complete data before introducing the journal. Dr. Anderson decides to phase in the food journal gradually, initially having W. J. record only what he ate at breakfast during the first three days after baseline (days 4–6). During days 7–9, the journal is used at lunch, too, and during days 10–12, it also is used during dinner. The data for Dr. Anderson’s study are below.   What type of small-N design has Dr. Anderson used with W. J.?

Adding multiple measurements before and after an experimental manipulation CANNOT eliminate which threat?
