Longitudinal designs involve measuring participants over a period of time, which increases the likelihood of practice effects occurring as participants become more familiar with the tasks. Experimental designs involve manipulating variables to test causation, which can also increase practice effects as participants may become aware of the study's purpose and strive to improve their performance. Therefore, longitudinal and experimental designs are the most susceptible to practice effects.
