Question 1

Direct replication

Answer 1

An experiment in which the researcher makes every effort to duplicate exactly the conditions of an earlier experiment

Question 2

Double-blind control

Answer 2

A procedure that prevents the subject and the observers from detecting the presence or absence of the treatment variable

Question 3

Placebo Control

Answer 3

A procedure that prevents a subject from detecting the presence or absence of the treatment variable

Question 4

Replication

Answer 4

Repeating a previous experimenter conditions within an experiment

Question 5

Systematic replication

Answer 5

An experiment in which the researcher purposefully varies one or more aspects of an earlier experiment

Question 6

Treatment Drift

Answer 6

Occurs when the application of the IV during later phases of an experiment differs from the way it was applied at the outset of the study

Question 7

Treatment integrity

Answer 7

The extent to which the IV is applied exactly as planned and described and no other unplanned variables are administered inadvertently along with the planned treatment; also called procedural integrity

Question 8

Type I error

Answer 8

A researcher concluded that the IV had an effect on the DV,when it did not. Also called false positive

Question 9

Type II error

Answer 9

A researcher concludes that the IV did not have an effect on the DV, when in truth it did. Also called false negative

Question 10
