Chapter 11tge N&b Of Experiments

Question 1

Small – n design

Answer 1

An experiment conducted with a one or few for participants to better understand the behavior of those individuals

Question 2

Independent variable

Answer 2

A variable in an experiment that is manipulated by the researcher such that the levels of the variable change the cross or with in subjects in an experiment

Question 3

Third variable problem

Answer 3

The presence of extraneous factors in the study that affect the dependent variable and can decrease the internal validity of the study

Question 4

Confounding variable

Answer 4

An extraneous factor present in the study that may affect the results

Question 5

Between subject variable

Answer 5

Each participant experience is only one level of the variable

Question 6

Within subject variable

Answer 6

Each participant experiences all the levels of the variable

Question 7

Random assignment

Answer 7

Participants are randomly assigned two levels of the independent variable in an experiment to control the individual differences as an extraneous variable

Question 8

Order affect

Answer 8

Occur when the order in which the participants experience the condition in an experiment affects the results of the study

Question 9

Testing effects

Answer 9

Occur when participants artistic more than once in the study with early testing affecting later testing

Question 10

Matched design

Answer 10

Between subjects experiment that involves sets of participants match on a specific characteristic with each member of the set randomly assigned to a different level of the independent variable

Question 11

Counterbalance

Answer 11

Control used in within subjects experiments were equal numbers of the participants are randomly assigned to a different order of the conditions

Question 12

Latin square

Answer 12

Partial counterbalancing technique where the number of the orders of the conditions used is equal to the number of conditions in the study

Question 13

Factorial design

Answer 13

An experiment or quasi experiment that includes more than one independent variable

Question 14

Levels of the independent variable

Answer 14

Different situations of conditions that participants experience in an experiment because of the manipulation of the independent variable

Question 15

Main effect

Answer 15

Test of the differences between all means for each level of independent variable is anANOVA

Question 16

Analysis of variance (ANOVA)

Answer 16

Analysis of variance test used for design with three or more sample means

Question 17

Interaction effect

Answer 17

Tests the effect of one independent variable at each level of another independent variable in an ANOVA

Question 18

Simple effects test

Answer 18

Statistical tests conducted to characterize an interaction effect when one is found in ANOVA

Question 19

Experiment

Answer 19

A type of research design that involves manipulation of the. Independent variable, allowing control of extraneous variables that can affect the results
