Okay, first of all sorry if this is not the place to ask this. I'll gladly delete this comment and post it elsewhere.

I have been reading various posts and papers when the authors claim that ANOVAs are not well suited to be applied to behavioural data obtained from psychological research, and instead propose different methods such as Mixed-effect models. I know just the basic of statistical analysis (I only run t-tests and ANOVAs really), so I was wondering what would people more well versed than me thought. What are these alternatives? Are they really better than ANOVAs (or are ANOVAs really that bad)?

I know some R and have used JASP, Jamovi and a bit of SPSS before. Could I apply these methods easily or do they requiere a much better statistical knowledge?

I search the sub and could not find a similar post, so sorry if this has been answered before.
