Dive into the impact of a "magic math pill" on test scores through a repeated measures design with Repeated Measures ANOVA tests. Learn to analyze within and between-group variability and conduct F-tests for significance. Explore correlations and differences between subjects and treatment conditions.
E N D
Remember • You just invented a “magic math pill” that will increase test scores. • On the day of the first test you give the pill to 4 subjects. When these same subjects take the second test they do not get a pill • Did the pill increase their test scores?
What if. . . • You just invented a “magic math pill” that will increase test scores. • On the day of the first test you give a full pill to 4 subjects. When these same subjects take the second test they get a placebo. When these same subjects that the third test they get no pill.
Note • You have more than 2 groups • You have a repeated measures design • You need to conduct a Repeated Measures ANOVA

Notice – the within variability of a group can be predicted by the other groups
Notice – the within variability of a group can be predicted by the other groups Pill and Placebo r = .99; Pill and No Pill r = .99; Placebo and No Pill r = .99
These scores are correlated because, in general, some subjects tend to do very well and others tended to do very poorly
Repeated ANOVA • Some of the variability of the scores within a group occurs due to the mean differences between subjects. • Want to calculate and then discard the variability that comes from the differences between the subjects.
Sum of Squares • SS Total • The total deviation in the observed scores • Computed the same way as before
SStotal = (57-75.66)2+ (71-75.66)2+ . . . . (96-75.66)2 = 908 *What makes this value get larger?
SStotal = (57-75.66)2+ (71-75.66)2+ . . . . (96-75.66)2 = 908 *What makes this value get larger? *The variability of the scores!
Sum of Squares • SS Subjects • Represents the SS deviations of the subject means around the grand mean • Its multiplied by k to give an estimate of the population variance (Central limit theorem)
SSSubjects = 3((60.33-75.66)2+ (72.33-75.66)2+ . . . . (93.66-75.66)2) = 1712 *What makes this value get larger?
SSSubjects = 3((60.33-75.66)2+ (72.33-75.66)2+ . . . . (93.66-75.66)2) = 1712 *What makes this value get larger? *Differences between subjects
Sum of Squares • SS Treatment • Represents the SS deviations of the treatment means around the grand mean • Its multiplied by n to give an estimate of the population variance (Central limit theorem)
SSTreatment = 4((74-75.66)2+ (75-75.66)2+(78-75.66)2) = 34.66 *What makes this value get larger?
SSTreatment = 4((74-75.66)2+ (75-75.66)2+(78-75.66)2) = 34.66 *What makes this value get larger? *Differences between treatment groups
Sum of Squares • Have a measure of how much all scores differ • SSTotal • Have a measure of how much this difference is due to subjects • SSSubjects • Have a measure of how much this difference is due to the treatment condition • SSTreatment • To compute error simply subtract!
Sum of Squares • SSError = SSTotal - SSSubjects – SSTreatment 8.0 = 1754.66 - 1712.00 - 34.66
Compute df df total = N -1
Compute df df total = N -1 df subjects = n – 1
Compute df df total = N -1 df subjects = n – 1 df treatment = k-1
Compute df df total = N -1 df subjects = n – 1 df treatment = k-1 df error = (n-1)(k-1)
Test F for Significance F(2,6) critical = 5.14
Additional tests Can investigate the meaning of the F value by computing t-tests and Fisher’s LSD
Pill vs. Placebo t=1.23 t (6) critical = 2.447
Pill vs. Placebo t=1.23 Pill vs. No Pill t =4.98* t (6) critical = 2.447
Pill vs. Placebo t=1.23 Pill vs. No Pill t =4.98* Placebo vs. No Pill t =3.70* t (6) critical = 2.447
Practice • You wonder if the statistic tests are of all equal difficulty. To investigate this you examine the scores 4 students got on the three different tests. Examine this question and (if there is a difference) determine which tests are significantly different.
SPSS Homework – Bonus 1) Determine if practice had an effect on test scores. 2) Examine if there is a linear trend with practice on test scores.
