Graphing Interactions
Interaction effects in factorial experiments can be visually interpreted and analyzed using either bar graphs or line graphs. In these visualizations, spreading interactions are identifiable when there is a large difference in the dependent variable at one level but little to no difference at the other. Cross-over interactions are characterized by a distinct reversal in the pattern of bar heights or by line graphs where the plotted lines literally intersect and cross over one another.

A psychology student is creating a graph for a factorial experiment investigating the effects of room temperature and background noise on reading comprehension scores. Based on standard graphing conventions for factorial designs, how should the student assign the variables to the graph's visual elements?
