A researcher designs a study to investigate the effect of feedback on perception of incomplete visual figures. Each participant stares at the center of a screen while the researcher briefly projects incomplete geometric figures one at a time at random positions on the screen. The participant's task is to identify each incomplete figure. One group of participants receives feedback on the accuracy of their responses. A second group does not. The researcher compares the mean number of figures correctly identified by the two groups.

The Experimental Method
Identify independentdependentconfounding, & control variables in experimental designs.

Describe how research design drives the reasonable conclusions that can be drawn.
  • Experiments are useful for determining cause & effect.
  • The use of experimental controls reduces alternative explanations.
  • Random assignment is needed to demonstrate cause & effect.
  • Correlational research can indicate if there is a relationship or association between two variables but cannot demonstrate cause & effect.
Distinguish between random assignment of participants to conditions in experiments & random selection of participants, primarily in correlational studies & surveys.
