Dr. Vance is investigating the word-length effect on working memory capacity. He conducts a laboratory experiment to compare the immediate recall of a list of 8 short, monosyllabic words (e.g., 'sum', 'pen', 'dog') against a list of 8 long, pentasyllabic words (e.g., 'representative', 'university', 'characteristics').
Describe an appropriate participant design that Dr. Vance could use for this experiment.
