Naturalistic: e. x: jane goodale would move in with chimps and observe them and learn how the behave. >problem was the monkeys couldn"t be natural with something unnatural (as a human) living with them. Experiments: tool that allow you to manipulate a variable, and see the effect it has. >as i manipulate the independent variable, does anything happen to the dependent variable. Control condition: reflect normal behavior, non manipulated behavior. Experimental group: represent behaviour when something is added/subtracted or manipulated. Operational definition: taking something vague and general, and turned it into something specific you can measure. Independent: whether or not we participate (how much we participate) Dependent: measuring marks (how students who participate, do better) Operational definition: clickers, rewards kids for participating, stands there waiting for answers. Validity: how well the operational definition does what its supposed to do. >i. e. student who things marks aren"t a way to test how much a student knows.
