Dr. Vance investigated the impact of virtual reality (VR) training compared to traditional desktop screen training on spatial navigation skills. He recruited participants from a science museum using opportunity sampling.
Dr. Vance compared two training modalities. He used an independent groups design with two conditions. In Condition A, participants completed a 20-minute spatial navigation training task using an immersive VR headset. In Condition B, participants completed the same 20-minute spatial navigation training task on a 2D desktop screen.
Explain one advantage of Dr. Vance using an independent groups design in this investigation.
