Control Vs. Experimental group Video link! Example 1 Let's say we want to know if a modern medication is effective in treating a fungal infection such as ring worm. We choose to 40 children ages 5-10 years who has the fungal infection. We inform the children and parents of the experiment. The researchers separates the group into 2, 20 in each group. One group is named *control* and the other *experimental*. Both groups are monitored equally during the experiment. **[Control group :]** Not exposed to treatment Conditions. This group is not given the medication but instead a fake pill that they believe is the treatment **[Experimental group :]** Exposed to treatment conditions. This group is given the actual medication **Independent variable**: is the variable the experimenter manipulates or changes, and is assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable. The drug that is being used as treatment for ring worm **Dependent Variable:** is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and is \'dependent\' on the independent variable. The effect of drug on the experimental group (Dependent Variable). Whether the drug treats the experimental group is dependent on if it was given to the children in that category.
