A manipulated variable is essentially the same as an independent variable in the context of scientific research.
Here's an example. Suppose you were studying how quickly rats can navigate a maze to find food and you wanted to know the effect of hunger level. You could keep one group of rats hungry for four hours and another group hungry for eight hours then allow each rat in the two groups to find its way through the same maze to a quantity of food. You would measure the time it took each rat to find the food. The manipulated variable would be the time that a rat had been kept hungry.
The manipulative variable.
Yup, a manipulative variable is the variable a scientist deliberately changes. This is also called an independent variable.
Theres the hypothesis, the manipulative variable, the controlled variable, the responding variable, the experimental control, and the trials.

manipulative
My manipulated variable was affected by the independent variable.
The manipulated variable is the variable that is changed in the experiment. The responding variable is the result of changing the manipulative variable, and the controlled variable is the variable that's stays the same throughout the entire experiment.
The dependent variable may change in response to the manipulated variable.
its important to have a manipulative variable so you have at least one variable that will reapond to what you do to it

First: Consider WHAT will be your manipulative variable (a variable that you can control while other variables remain constant) that you believe will affect your experimentSecond: Consider HOW your responding variable will respond when you manipulate your manipulative variable after keeping everything else constantExample:First: My manipulative variable is mass of weight and you believe this variable will affect the speed of the trolley when roll down the railSecond: The larger the mass of the trolley, the faster it will move down the rail
The Independent/Manipulative variable is the variable that you purposely change, and the Dependent/Responsive variable is the variable that changes as a rest of the Independent variable. You measure the dependent variable to see the effects of the Independent variable.
