The student provides relevant characteristics of the research participants, such as their age, lack of learning disorders, and English fluency. They justify their choice of non-Psychology students as participants to reduce demand characteristics and ensure understanding of instructions. The student states and provides reasons for all controlled variables, including environment, standardization of instructions, and group allocation. The choice of materials is also explained.
