Researchers studied preteens at an outdoor education camp that prevented kids from using devices with screens (e.g., cell phones; Uhls et al., 2014). They predicted the camp would improve children’s nonverbal communication skills. One group of sixth graders attended the camp in the spring. They were compared with a group of sixth graders from the same school who did not attend the camp. The kids were tested on how well they could read emotions in faces. The camp group took the emotion test on Monday and Friday (the first and last days of their camp week). The control group took the emotion test on Monday and Friday of a regular school week. What type of design was this?
