EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY – QUIZ 5 (Chapter 9)

1. Recruit all your subjects from a single class or location, resulting in a convenience sample.
2. It allows you to make changes before you invest time and resources in a large-scale experiment.
3. It is used to determine the value of the dependent variable without an experimental
manipulation of the independent variable.
4. Affects the external validity of an experiment.
5. It is a statistical estimate of the size of magnitude of the treatment effect.
6. Use to estimate the minimum number of the subjects needed for each treatment group.
7. It is the general structure of the experiment.
8. Design in which different subjects take part in each condition of the experiment
9. Same subject take part in more than one condition of the experiment
10. In which we require that the members of the pairs fall within a previously specified range of
scores.

1. Precision matching in which we insist that the members of the matched pairs that have identical
scores.
2. We need to assume that our treatment groups are comparable on an important extraneous variable,
we can make them comparable through matching.
3. Statistics for matched groups allows us to make comparisons based on the differences between the
members of each of our matched pairs.
4. Random assignment means that one subject has an equal chance of being replaced in any of the
treatment conditions.
5. Random selection and random assignment are two unseparated procedures
6. Random assignment, however, is critical to internal validity.
7. Experimental condition can apply a particular value of the dependent variable to the subjects and
measure independent variable
8. Placebo group in a drug study is an excellent example of a true control group.
9. When we use the two independent groups design, we assume that randomization is successful
10. Multiple independent groups design is the most commonly used multiple groups design
11. Sometimes researchers conduct a pilot study to pretest selected levels of an independent variable
before conducting the actual experiment.
12. The multiples group procedure assumes that treatment groups are formed by random selection.
13. Some variables have finite number of possible values.
14. In an experiment, subjects are always randomly assigned to treatment conditions
15. If subjects are not randomly assigned to treatment group, confounding can occur.
