Description of the characteristics and applications of double blind and factorial designs.

Main Results:

Randomized clinical trials are presented not as a novel design, but as a specific application of post-test only or pre-test/post-test designs.
Double blind trials are identified as a key strategy for mitigating experimenter bias.
Factorial designs enable the simultaneous investigation of multiple independent variables and their effects.
