Experimental Group: Consists of subjects who receive a specific treatment related to the independent variable, allowing researchers to assess the effects of that treatment.
Control Group: Made up of similar subjects who do not receive the treatment, serving as a baseline to compare the effects observed in the experimental group.

Extraneous Variables: These are additional variables that may influence the dependent variable, potentially confounding the results of a study if not controlled.
Confounding Variables: Arise when two variables are intertwined, making it challenging to determine the individual impact of each on the dependent variable, which can lead to misleading conclusions in experimental research.
