Counterbalancing involves a systematic rotation of the order of conditions for different participants, which can help to control for order effects. Shortening the length of time between conditions and allowing subjects to take a nap between conditions may also be helpful, but they are not as effective as counterbalancing. Using different subjects for the second condition would not control for order effects and would introduce other sources of variability into the study (e.g., individual differences between subjects).
