The two independent variables are social-cue congruence, with congruent and incongruent levels, and cue-to-response delay, with short ( ms) and long ( ms) levels. The response variable is reproduction reaction time, measured in seconds. Thus the known treatment structure is a factorial design, potentially estimating two main effects and their interaction.
