Answer:Time sampling error

Explanation:Time sampling error - occurs when a test is repeated for several occasions using the same participants and this lead to varying test scores. This repeated testing means participants become familiar with the test such that they will start to know what to say and the more they are given the test the more familiar it becomes and the more their scores will keep getting better and better which result to fluctuations in scores.

Time-sampling error

Explanation:

When you do a research on the same individuals or participants and the results or test score obtained are not the same after repeatedly testing these individuals, this type of error is referred to as Time-sampling error. Time-sampling errors are associated with test scores fluctuations from same individuals and in this case the researcher would describe this error as Time sampling error.
