Factorial Laboratory Experiment

A factorial laboratory experiment is a controlled experimental design in which two or more independent variables (factors) are simultaneously manipulated, each at two or more levels, within a laboratory setting. This design allows researchers to estimate both the individual main effect of each factor and the interaction effects between factors — making it one of the most efficient and informative designs in behavioral, psychological, and natural science research.
