What is the difference between an experiment in a within-subject design and in a between-subject design?

An experiment in a within-subject design is an experiment when all the participants have the same conditions - therefore we have only one group of participants. Whereas an experiment in a between-subject design is an experiment when the participants are split into two or more groups and each group has different conditions.
