Preventing Learning Effects in Repeated experiments

Hello all,
I would like to know how to prevent the learning effect in repeated
experiments and see ""who does how"".
Let's say we are interested in 2 factors (A,B) on X (in a beer game setting)
and we design a series of experiment during which the factors A,B are
incremented in a uni-variate fashion, so that the effect would/may be due to
that factor (!). However, we know that the performance of the subjects may
be distorted due to learning which is not in the scope of the experiment.
I would appreciate if I could hear what are the common experimental
techniques to avoid learning effect (As you may have guessed, these
experiments are carried out with the same subject)
Thanks...
