Amara conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of word frequency on short-term memory recall. She used a repeated measures design where 15 participants recalled a list of high-frequency words (e.g., 'house', 'water') and then immediately recalled a list of low-frequency words (e.g., 'mirth', 'gauge'). She used the same order of conditions for all participants.
Explain one improvement Amara could make to the design of her experiment.
