Begin by reading the New York Times article, The Moral Life of Babies and then watching the short video showing this same research. Reading the article first is important since it contains much more information than the video and also will help you understand the scenes in the video.
Then answer each of the five questions below, each worth a maximum of one point:
- Briefly describe the study design.
- How consistent or inconsistent is it with a within-subjects experimental design?
- Could the study be changed to be a true within-subjects experimental design and answer the same research questions? What might be some of the challenges in using this kind of design?
- List all the factors that you can see were deliberately controlled in this research.
