summaryMore and more often, experimentalists are taking into account individual differences in their participants, either as statistical controls or to test hypotheses. There are various ways to do this, but "one size does not fit all". Some techniques are better suited for some purposes, whereas other techniques are better suited for other purposes. In this talk, I will describe some of the ways in which individual differences can be studied within experimental designs, and I will make some recommendations for best practice. This talk will not center on statistical techniques; rather, I will discuss the conceptual issues that need to be considered and describe how various statistical procedures address these issues. I will discuss these issues in terms of various types of research designs, ranging from studies in which a small number of measure are collected on a single occasion to studies in which multiple measures are collected on multiple occasions or under multiple conditions (e.g., reaction time studies).
