[tips] Bogus treatments

[Michael Britt]

I wonder if anyone had any suggestions for me.  I'm planning an  
episode in which I want to talk about research design and various  
confounds and threats to validity (a la Campbell) and I want to use an  
example of a treatment (the "X" in Campbell's terminology) that we  
know doesn't work.  I was going to use teaching methods that attempt  
to incorporate learning styles, but that's a hot topic, upon which not  
everyone agrees so I'd rather not use it because I don't want the  
treatment that I use as an example to distract from the topic of  
research design.   I suppose I could just make something up but  
thought I'd check to see if anyone had any ideas.

Appreciate it,
Michael
