Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A 2x2x3 design allows for manipulation of three independent variables: temperature (warm or cold), difficulty of material (easy, difficult), and amount of material (low, moderate, high). This design would allow for a more comprehensive examination of the effects of temperature on learning and retention of material.
