The Solomon four-group design is specifically designed to address the issue of the interaction between the testing and the experimental stimulus. It involves randomly assigning participants to four groups: two groups that receive the experimental treatment and two groups that do not. One of each type of group is also given a pre-test before the treatment is administered. This design allows researchers to compare the effects of the treatment with and without a pre-test, thus controlling for the potential confounding effects of testing. Quasi-experimental designs and the classical experimental design do not have specific features to address this particular issue.
