Answer:

The answer is partial counterbalancing. a technique for controlling progressive error by using some subset of the available sequences of treatment conditions.

And complete counterbalancing. a process of arranging a series of experimental conditions or treatments in such a way that every possible sequence of conditions is given at least once during the study.
