This study is an example of a concurrent-measures design because the two groups (drawn illustrations and photographs) are presented at the same time, and the participants are asked to indicate their preference immediately. The study does not involve multiple measurements over time, ruling out longitudinal and repeated-measures designs. It also does not involve a control group or manipulation, ruling out the posttest-only design.
