What do you mean by "Time"? The order of the two tasks, or pre vs post-task? The answer is NO because Day is essentially the same thing as Task. On the other hand, "set" or Group is another (between-subjects) factor of interest, right?

Do reaction times and accuracy vary between tasks and the time points?
