In 2015, researchers Smith and Jones investigated how auditory distractions affect reading comprehension. They recruited 24 undergraduate students to participate in their study. In one condition, participants read a scientific passage and answered questions while listening to lyrical pop music. In the other condition, the same participants read an equivalent passage and answered questions in complete silence. To control for order effects, half of the participants completed the music condition first, while the other half completed the silent condition first.
With reference to the article, identify the experimental design used by Smith and Jones.
