I teach a gateway class for Psych majors to prep them for our research methods classes. Early in the term,after discussing everyday reasoning problems such as the confirmation and hindsight biases, I have been introducing the idea of a four-fold (2X2) table to aid their thinking about more adequate tests of popular ideas. The table encourages them to think about control or comparison conditions, and gently preps them for later discussion of variables and levels for same. Anyway....I think I picked this idea up from some intro text, likely Scott Lilienfeld's, but I cannot find or recall the source. Does anyone do anything similar, or recall where use of a four-fold table for such teaching purposes may have come from?
