Multiplicative Notation A 3 x 4 factorial design
Multiplicative Notation A 3 x 4 factorial design The number of numbers tells you how many factors there are.
Multiplicative Notation A 3 x 4 factorial design The number of numbers tells you how many factors there are. There are 2 factors because there are 2 numbers.
Multiplicative Notation A 3 x 4 factorial design The number values tell you how many levels are in each factor.
Multiplicative Notation A 3 x 4 factorial design The number values tell you how many levels are in each factor. Factor 1 has 3 levels. Factor 2 has 4 levels.

A Main Effect • A consistent difference between levels of a factor • For instance, we would say there’s a main effect for setting if we find a statistical difference between the averages for the in-class and pull-out groups

An Interaction Effect • When differences on one factor depend on the level you are on on another factor • An interaction is between factors (not levels) • You know there’s an interaction when can’t talk about effect on one factor without mentioning the other factor

Advantages of Factorial Designs • Offers great flexibility for exploring or enhancing the “signal” (treatment) • Makes it possible to study interactions • Combines multiple studies into one
