If you have some software to code it, choice response time is perfect. You get to teach them experimental control, talk about Donders and the idea of using overt behavior to infer a mental process, and like that. You can run with 1, 2 and 4 choices and it's robust as anything. With 21 subjects you'll have TON of power.

I'm looking for a quick in-class activity I can do (in an intermediate statistics course) in order to introduce my students to the repeated-measures (or one-way within-subjects) ANOVA. I have a relatively small class (21 students) and we meet in a computer lab. I was hoping to do something in class that would yield some data that we can then explore and analyze right on the spot. Does anyone have any good suggestions? One thought I had was something where students could work through puzzles of some kind on the computer (where the DV would be the amount of time taken to complete the puzzle). Ideally, I wanted at least three different conditions for them to work through, but we could have just two. I'm just not sure if there is a website out there that might give me what I need to pull this off (by Wednesday!). Also, I have some students in class for whom English is a second language, so I want to avoid tasks that could be very challenging or frustrating for those students (e.g., I was initially thinking of word puzzle activities like Boggle, but I think that would be too much for some students). Thank you so much for any ideas you might have to share.
