Document Summary

Lecture 3 september 20th 2012. Answer question on upcoming test. Experimental methods (continued from last week) check moodle, weekly lecture notes and weekly exercises are up. They might not be for every week textbook has great study guide for practice questions etc. Psych portal psychsim which covers topics module by module and excellent to further understanding of class material. Left off last week talking about placebo and control groups good short. Independent and dependent variables: have to have these in experiments. We have 3 study time groups and average grade from each group. Prediction is that more you study the higher the grade. Iv is study time (manipulated) and dv is study grade (behavior). Control group is zero hours of study ie group that does not study or doesn"t get iv: results look like: 0 hours = 65% 5 hours = 73% 10 hours = 65: how can people who study 0 hours get same grade as those who study.
