Samenvatting	A blocked laboratory experiment is a controlled laboratory study in which experimental units are grouped into homogeneous blocks before treatment assignment, and treatments are then randomly assigned within each block. Blocking removes the influence of a known nuisance variable — such as participant batch, equipment run, or testing day — from the error term, increasing the precision of treatment comparisons without expanding sample size.	A laboratory experiment is a research design in which the investigator systematically manipulates one or more independent variables under tightly controlled conditions, randomly assigns participants to conditions, and measures the effect on dependent variables. By maximizing internal control, the laboratory experiment is the gold standard for establishing cause-and-effect relationships. It is the backbone of experimental psychology, cognitive science, pharmacology, and many social sciences.
