never heard the term fully experimental, but a quasi experiment reffers to a natural occurance of the independant variable. this for example could include real traffic noise for an experiment rather than a cd of noise for example. I'm well crap at explaining these things by the way.
I've never heard the term 'fully experimental design' either, but I guess it's the opposite to quasi...

Quasi: where the independent variable (the one you are already measuring) is naturally occurring in the environment e.g. autistic children compared to 'normal' children

A Psychology glossary website definition

Fully experimental: where the experimenter manipulates the IV i.e. by assigning ppl to conditions
