In a between-subjects design, the total number of conditions is calculated by multiplying the number of levels in each factor. In this case, there are three factors with the following levels:

The first factor has 3 levels.
The second factor has 6 levels.
The third factor has 4 levels.

To find the total number of conditions, you multiply these numbers together:

3 (levels of the first factor) × 6 (levels of the second factor) × 4 (levels of the third factor) = 72.

This indicates that there are 72 unique combinations or conditions in this experimental design. Each combination represents a different group of participants, making it essential to consider the multiplicative nature of the factors when determining the total number of conditions in a study.
