LASER COMMUNICATION:
Majority of participants from the survey are already familiar with the current technology of communication that we use today. These knowledge can influence the internal validity of the research. The “Learning effects” or also known as the practice effects would result in increased of survey performance because participants have become familiar with some aspect of the experiment. Participants may: a)Understand the format of the experiment b)Understand the purpose of the experiment c) Become familiar with the testing environment d)Develop a strategy/approach to do better/worse in the experiment (or moderate their outcome) a)Become less anxious about the experiment
Experimental fatigue reflects general experiences that take place during the experiment that lead to physical and/or mental fatigue. This could be due to a particular treatment, which may be physical and/or mentally demanding, or simply due to the fact that being part of a research project, which is unusual for most participants, can be tiring.
