Design an independent groups experiment that a researcher could conduct to investigate the effect of background auditory distraction (lyrical music vs. silence) on reading comprehension.

In your answer you should provide details of:

  • the aim of the experiment
  • identification and manipulation of variables, including details of the experimental task
  • controls to minimize the effects of extraneous variables
  • data handling and analysis – use of descriptive statistics and/or data presentation.

Justify your design choices.
