Question | Answer |
---|---|
Independent Variable (IV) | Tests only 1 variable |
Independent Variable ( IV) | Levels of Treatment(LOT)- Different amounts or types of the independent variable (IV) that you will test |
Dependent Variable (DV) | Measured, counted,etc... ( your data) |
Standard Variables (SV) Constants/Controlled Variables | Potential Independent Variables (IVs) that must be kept the same for all test subjects |
Control Group vs Experimental Group | The are identical except: Experimental group GETS an independant variable (IV) and the control does NOT GET an independent variable (IV)( or gets a normal amount of independent variable(IV). |
The "Group" that is used to determine if and what effect the independent variable (IV) had on the dependent variable (DV) The standard for comparison | Control Group |
Verifying Results/ Replication | Repeating an experiment to see if the results are consistent /reliable. Using the exact same procedure (can use more subjects) |
