Is A variable that changes outside the control of the participants an independent variable?
Variables that may affect the results of an experiment are described by the umbrella term "extraneous variable". extraneous variables that actually affect the result without experimenter knowledge is called a confounding variables
eg. if the experimenter is testing verbal recall performance, hair color is not going to effect the results. hair color is an extraneous variable, but not compound. but whether or not a subject had a good nights sleep can have a huge effect on the ability to remember words. therefore sleep is a compound variable.
What else can I help you with?
If participants in the experimental group of a drug treatment study are much younger than participants in the control group the age of the research participants is aNo?
Confounding variable.
What does mean level of the independent variable?
If an experiment compares an experimental treatment with a control treatment, then the independent variable (type of treatment) has two levels: experimental and control. If an experiment were comparing five types of diets, then the independent variable (type of diet) would have 5 levels. In general, the number of levels of an independent variable is the number of experimental conditions.
What are the elements of experiments and what kinds of variables are there?
The elements of experiments include the independent variable (manipulated by the researcher), dependent variable (outcome being measured), control group (not exposed to the independent variable), and experimental group (exposed to the independent variable). Variables can be independent (controlled by the researcher), dependent (measured to see the effect of the independent variable), or extraneous (unintended variables that can affect the results).
What is the difference between control and control group?
I still don't know?
What does a valid experiment must include?
a control group and statistical analysys of the resultsalso, to be considered valid, the results of a scientific experiment must be repeatable and still proven correct.
In science what changes the control or the variable?
the control can not change ever its like a constant and the dependent variable changes according to the independent variable
Independent variable is known as?
The independent variable is the one that you change in an experiment. The dependent variable changes because of the independent variable. You control the independent and observe the dependent.
How does a psychologist use an independent variable in an experiment?
you have to decipher out what exactly it is saying buut... participants that are exposed to the independent variable are in the experimental group and the participants who are treated the same way as the experimental group, except that they are not exposed to the independent variable, make up the control group... any...

What is a dependent variable independent variable and a control group?
The independent variable is the thing you change, the dependent variable is the variable that changes because of the independent variable, it could also be referred to as the effect, and the control group is the constant, the thing that stays the same and the variable that you compare your results to.
Independent vs dependent variables?
Free from outside control means Independent . While dependent Is opposite.
Is a manipulative variable the same as an independent variable?
Yup, a manipulative variable is the variable a scientist deliberately changes. This is also called an independent variable.
What is a control test?
Control Test is the separate experiment that serves as a standard for comparison to identify experimental effects, changes of the dependent variable resulting from changes to the independent variable.
What is the variable that changes as a result of a scientist changing a variable?
The variable that changes as a result of a scientist changing another variable is called the dependent variable. It is the variable being observed or measured in an experiment to see how it responds to the changes made to the independent variable.
Definitions of the 3 types of variables in doing an experiment?
The three variable in an experiment are independent, dependent, and controlled. The independent is the variable you control, the dependent is the variable that will change according to the independent. The control is kept constant so they do not affect the dependent.
What are the three types of variables?
The three types of variables are: Independent: it is the one that you manipulate Dependent: the one that reacts to the changes in the independent variable and is measured in a experiment Control: all the other factors that could affect the dependent variable but are kept constant through out an experiment
What factory in an experiment that changes form the manipulation of the independent variable?
The experimental group is the group in an experiment that receives the manipulation of the independent variable. This group is compared to the control group, which does not receive the manipulation, to determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
