In learning experiments in classroom settings, the independent variable is
A response
A stimulus of some kind
A hypothesized outcome
A variable being tested
Using random assignment is useful so that
Experiments are conducted under more natural conditions
A causal effect of an intervention can be calculated
Personal characteristics of individuals are distributed equally among the groups
Results are clearly replicable or predictable
What are some of the characteristics of experiments?
Random assignment, group comparisons and threats to validity.
Random assignment, group measures and manipulation.
Outcome comparisons, threats to invalidity and random assignment.
Group measures, control over ideas and threats to invalidity.
What's an experimental group?
The group that gives an experimental procedure or a test sample.
The group in which conditions produce a negative outcome.
The group in which the conditions guarantee a positive result.
The group that receives an experimental procedure or a test sample.
When a researcher expects certain outcomes, and thereby causes them to occur is known as
Diffusion of treatments.
Researcher expectancy.
Reactivity.
History.
What's a possible solution to participants’ changes over the time of the research [maturation treat] ?
Selecting participants who are at the same developmental level.
Conducting your study in an unobtrusive way
Using a smaller population.
Using counterbalancing.
What's the most commun type of experimental design performed in classroom settings?
Quasi-experiments.
True experiments.
Time series experiments.
Single subject experiments.
Select the three types of between group designs
True experiments.
Quasi-experiments.
Time series experiment.
Factorial designs.
When a researcher has access to only one group and can study them over a period. Which is the most suitable experimental type to perform?
Time series experiments.
Repeated measures experiments.
Single subject experiments.
Factorial designs.
Which type of experimental design is the best option when seeking to learn about the behavior of single individuals rather than groups?
Repeated measures experiments.
Single subject experiments.
Quasi-experiments.
True experiments
