Definitions:

Causality

The relationship between cause and effect, where one event (the cause) is understood to directly result in another event (the effect).

Within-subject Design

A research design in which the same subjects are used in each condition of the experiment, allowing the researcher to compare the performance of the same individuals under different conditions.

Conditions

Specified factors or variables that create a context or environment in which a process, experiment, or scenario occurs.

Factorial Designs

Experimental designs used in research that involve multiple factors (independent variables) and their influence on the dependent variable, allowing for the study of interactions among factors.
