[R] Mixed Effects Model on Within-Subjects Design

Hi Thierry,
Thank you so much for your response! I ran the model and I obtained
some strange results (see below). Is there a simple way to compute a
condition x difference interaction with the lme? Also, I read in the R
Book (Crawley, 2007) that repeated measures on the same day would be
temporal pseudoreplication. Being that I have 3 repeated measures for
each condition x difference pair, I assumed that each measurement
(variable "rep") would be a random effect variable along with subject.
Is this a correct assumption? If not, should I switch back to a
repeated measures ANOVA?
Thank you so much!!
Best,
Dave Deriso
