Abstract
Knight, Barbaree, and Boland (1986) recently conducted a study designed to assess the role of experimenter demand in the balanced-placebo design. The study's methodology is critiqued as providing an inadequate test of the research question. In addition, the interpretation of the results includes issues that are not addressed by the implementation of the design. The need for attention to conceptual clarity and methodological rigor in tests of extant research is discussed.
