4 of 24

identifies one or more specific observable events or conditions such as another research can independantly measure and test for them
5 of 24
Define the term 'Alternative hypothesis'
the outcome that you are expecting when holding an experiment
6 of 24
Define the term 'Null Hypothesis'
the outcome that you are not expecting, but it accepted in the results of an experiment do not agree with the Alternativ Hypothesis
7 of 24
Define the term 'One-tailed Hypothesis'
a statisitical test in which the critical area of ditribution is one-sided so that is greater or less than a certain value, not both
8 of 24
Define the term 'Two-tailed Hypothesis'
a statistical test in which the critical area of distribution is two-sided and tests whether a sample is greater or less than a certain range of values

Define the term 'Independant Meaures Design'
if the two groups in an experiment consists of different individuals

when measurements are taken at two or more points on the same set of experimental units
11 of 24
Define the term 'Order Effects'
the effects on behaviour or presenting two or more treatments for the same participants
12 of 24
Define the term 'Matched Pairs Design'
participants in different conditions are matched according to certain characterisics e.g. gender, age, hair colour etc.

15 of 24
Define the term 'Quasi experiment'
a test where the Independant Variable occurs naturally and is no manipulated by the experimenter
16 of 24
Define the term 'Demand Characteristics'
when the participants unconciously change their behaviour due to interpreting the experimenters purpose
17 of 24
