Answer: a. testing effect

Explanation:

Testing effect is a type of threat to internal validity of an experiment. Internal validity is assessing whether a factor makes a difference in an experiment or not and if it does, whether there is adequate evidence to support this correlation.

Testing as a threat to internal validity is when a second test is taken on the outcome of a first test. Other internal validity threats are history, maturation, instrument modifications.

In what specific ways is the telling of the history of indigenous peoples in the Americas changing?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
They are taking action and acknowledging the wrong doing of the past. Although I would not say it is changing because if it was the indigenous people would have their land back and they don’t. They still face a lot of racial discrimination and it took years for the government to apologize for such a brutal incident, the residential schools. The whole main point of them was to wipe out all of the history of the indigenous people.
