• Independent Variable - variable that the researchers manipulate.
• Dependent Variable - Responding Variable
• Experimental Unit - assigned at a random to a treatment.
• Treatment - Researchers administer to experimental units.
• Constant - do not change either during or between experiments.
• Control Group - does not receive any treatment.
• Experimental Group - independent and treatment
• Extraneous Variable - unwanted variable.
• Research Design - defined as a framework of methods and techniques.
• The 3 questions are:

  1. What is changed
  2. what stays the same
  3. what is measured
