Counterbalancing is a technique used to control for order effects in a repeated measures design. It involves systematically varying the order in which participants are exposed to different conditions or treatments, so that each condition occurs equally often in each position. This helps to control for any potential confounding effects of order, such as practice or fatigue effects.
