    Study Notes

    Experiment Variables

    • The independent variable is the factor being tested in the experiment, and it is manipulated by the experimenter.
    • The role of the dependent variable is to measure the effect of the independent variable, and its value changes in response to the independent variable.
    • The main difference between the independent and dependent variables is that the independent variable is the cause, and the dependent variable is the effect.
    • The independent variable is deliberately changed or manipulated by the experimenter to observe its impact on the dependent variable.
    • The dependent variable, on the other hand, is not directly manipulated, but its response to the independent variable is measured and recorded.
