Within subject design are used during an experiment by exposing each participant to more than one part of experiment (Myers & Hansen, 2012). Between subject design uses different participants for each part of the experiment (Myers & Hansen, 2012). Large N designs are widely used for experiments when testing a number of subjects while Small n designs are used when tests a single subject or a couple of subjects (Myers & Hansen, 2012). With Small n designs the actions of the participants are studied many times and the experiment could take place over an extended period of time. Small n designs can be beneficial to an experiment when the researchers lack the participants to use a Large N design (Myers & Hansen, 2012). The use of Large N design can be useful for determining trends as it uses data collected from many subjects.

During an experiment, subject design is applied by exposing each participant to more than one element of the experiment (Myers & Hansen, 2012). Different volunteers are used for each section of the experiment in the between subject design (Myers & Hansen, 2012). When testing a large number of individuals, large N designs are commonly employed, but small n designs are used when testing a single subject or a couple of subjects (Myers & Hansen, 2012). The activities of the participants are analyzed several times with Small n designs, and the experiment might take place over a long period of time. When the researchers do not have enough participants for a Large N design, Small n designs can be useful (Myers & Hansen, 2012). The application of Large
