Document Summary
A theoretical framework:what we believe and how we believe the world works. 1. no other factor affects the experiment (variables affecting it), rule out any variables that affect data. No study stands by itself (if it cannot be replicated, it is not accepted as scientific) Ex of unrealiable test: polygraph lie detector test ( it really measures stress) Reliable: get similar outcomes over and over again.

Surveys: good way to find out what people think, can design it to get the results u want. Case study: studying a single group, a phenomena. Random assignment: flip a coin, by using the power of randomness to condition, it gives us that relative confidence that any factors (prior experience, bilingualism e) should be evenly distributed among the group. Always use bais sample because u cant find unbias samplem. Placebo effects: belief that something works, because u believe it has an effect.
