Solution

The experimental design in this scenario is a Mixed Design. This is because there are two independent variables, one of which is a between-subjects variable (age group: younger adults vs older adults) and the other is a within-subjects variable (learning condition: eyes closed, eyes open looking at a blank canvas, eyes open looking at a distracting field of pictures). In a mixed design, each participant experiences some conditions and different participants experience other conditions.
