Question

Dorothy Baamer · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  This study uses a within-subjects design, as the same participants completed the task under two different conditions (after 24 hours without sleep and after sleeping for at least eight hours). This allows for each participant to serve as their own control, increasing the power of the study and reducing the impact of individual differences between participants.
