Description
Systematic observations that can be quantified and classified
Description Example

Prediction
Two events very consistently. When one event occurs we are likely to see the other BUT one doesn’t necessarily cause the other.
Prediction Example
Children from families that are dysfunctional score lower on standardized tests
Control
Shows a functional relationship. Shows manipulating one events causes the other.
Control Example
Alternating treatment design data show that students are more likely to comply with a token economy when it is in effect versus when it is not.
