What are Confounding Variables?

In any experiment there are many kinds of variables that will effect the experiment. The independent variable is the manipulation for the experiment and the dependent variable is the measure you take from that experiment. Confounding variables are things in which have an effect on the dependent variable, but were taken into account in the experimental design. For example, you want to know if Drug X has an effect on causing sleep. The experimenter must take care to design the experiment so that he can be very sure that the subjects in the study fell asleep because of the influence of his Drug X, and that the sleepiness was not caused by other factors. Those other factors would be confounding variables.

What is the difference between correlation and experiment?

An experiment is when the researcher manipulates the independent variable and records its effect on the dependent variable whilst maintaining strict control over any extraneous variables. A correlation is a statistical relationship between two or more variables. The researcher makes a change in one of the variables to see what is affected.
