Factorial ANOVA - correct answer ✔✔an analysis of variance involving two or more

Level - correct answer ✔✔the specific values that the experimenter chooses for a factor
- dependent variable
condition - correct answer ✔✔An option across all of the independent variables
Main Effect - correct answer ✔✔considering one IV at a time to see if there's a difference in DV
across all levels of IV
interaction - correct answer ✔✔considering one IV is not enough--we consider multiple IV to
see a change in DV. used to predict Dv/outcome. if there's an interaction between IVs it gets
complex and we have to say "it depends" when explaining hat happened in the DV/outcome.
