6. What is the independent variable ?
- Variable that is changed or controlled to test effect on the dependent variable
- The variable that is tested and mesasured and is controlled by the dependent variable
- PAss
- Something you control
7. What does RV stand for and what is it?
- Pass
- Factors that affect the two IV levels differently
- Random variables . RV's are other factors that could effect the outcome.
- Factors that could affect the DV in some way creating noise, resulting in unclear measurement
8. What is the FIELD experimental design?
- Iv manipulated by experimenter, tasks and setting may be unlike real life
- Iv is manipulated by the experimenter , in a real life setting like hospitals or schools
- Iv changes occur natually in a real life setting
- Pass
9. What is Extraneous Variable ?
- Pass
- Factors the affect the two IV levels differently, causes mistaken conclusion of what has actually affect the dv
- Factors that affect the DV, creating noise, resulting in unclear measurements.
- Other random factors that could effect the outcome
10. In an un-ideal world, what are the 2 options of the cause of the variability ?
- Variability in DV can only be caused by the IV
- 1) Variability in DV by the IV 2) Variability in DV caused by systematic or random error.
- Pass
- Pass
11. What is systematic error ?
- Error caused due to human error, cant be helped
- Pass
- Affects the score of one condition differently to the other ( confounding variables)
- Spread randomly across the scores of both conditions ( Extraneous)
12. Reliability is....
- Whether we can replicate the results - experimental effect is stable and cosistent
- whether we can replicate the results - experimental effect is consistent and stable
13. What is Confounding Variables?
- Pass
- Factors that affect the DV , creating noise resulting in unclear measurement.
- Factors that could affect the two IV levels differently- causes mistake in conclusion of what had affected DV
- Other factors that could affect the outcome
14. What is the dependent variable?
- The variable that is manipulated in the scientific experiment
- An unexpected variable
- The variable that is being tested and measured.
- Pass
15. What is Reliability ?
- -Experimental effect is consistent and stable. You can replicate the findings.
- Pass
- The consistency of the experi
- Does the experi explain what it clains to explain? How true is causality of the behaviour?
16. Confounding variable which causes systematic errors ...
- Affects the 2 Iv conditions differently ,
- Affects the 2 Iv conditions differently
17. What is categorical data?
- Scores from participants are placed in a category - eg race, gender ,educational level
- Scores from participants that are placed in categories . Gender, Race, educational level
18. When to use Within participants design ?
- - Same participants can participate in both conditions. - Use when its hard to recruit participants
- - Different participants are used in each IV condition ( independent group)
- Pass
- Pass
19. What is Validity ?
- Being able to replicate the findings, Experimental effect is consistent and stable
- Whether you can you use
- How true is the causality of the behaviour, does the experi really explain what it claims to explain?
- Pass
20. Extraneous variable which causes random errors ...
- are factors that may affect the DV in some way
- are factors the may affect the DV in some way
