 Read the explanation of lab experiments. Summarise this in your books.

 Answer the following questions:

1. Define IV and DV
Ans : IV is an independent varaible, which is manpiulated by
the reserachers to identify factors that may effect the
depented varable.
DV is an dependent varaible, which is measured by the
reserachers.
2. Explain why are lab experiments ‘untypical of a place where the
behaviour being studies would naturally occur’?
Ans : A laboratory experiment is an investigation that takes
place in laboratory, so the expirment is predominantly staged,
which is where the participaint may act accurately or not
they’re usual self. Similarlily, it’s conducted in a controlled
enviroment, which, therefore is a untypical place to study
behavour.
3. Identify three kinds of study that might use a lab experiment
- Memory
- Development
- Reaction test

 Answer the following questions:
1. Define ‘condition’
Ans: When there is more than 2 IV varables in an experiment.
2. Marina wants to carry out a study investigating the effects of
revision club on students GCSE performance. She splits her class into
two groups – students who go to revision club and students who don’t.
i. Identify the two conditions in this study?
Ans: There are two conditions: students who go to revsion
club and students who don’t.
ii. Explain what is the IV for this study?
Ans: The IV would be the amout of students who get to revise
and the ones who don’t, as well as, the amount of hours they
spend at particular studying/revising a subject.
iii. Explain what is the DV for this study?
Ans: The effects of revison on the students GCSE
perfromance.
iv. Explain how the DV be operationalised?
Ans: To operationalise the DV we could specify what activitiy is
conducted in the reivion club example: The students parcticed
past papers or the students wrote questions down to answer
later.

Similarlily, they could also use different time intervals

example : Student 1 revised for 1 hour or student 2 could finish
a 9 marker in 10 mins or so….on, due to this much time of
reivison.
