A block design for an experiment in human-computer interaction

Description

This is a block design to compare two methods (mouse and stylus) of drawing a map in a computer file. The design involved 12 subjects randomised in 6 days and 2 tests (morning/afternoon) within each day, across 2 rooms. The design is based on 2x2 Latin squares; see Example 7 Brien and Bailey (2006) for more details.
