Answer 1

Answer: Hello!

Where are most experiments done?

The answer is a laboratory.

The benefits of this choice are that the laboratory is a controlled environment, where all the variables are controlled (a clean place, the temperature is controlled, the pressure is controlled, etc) and this allows us to have a better description of the phenomena that you are observing. Also having a controlled experiment allows doing the same experiment anywhere in the world, in order to see the repetitively of the experiment when is done in other laboratory and by other scientists.

Answer 2

The experimental method is usually taken to be the most scientific of all methods, the 'method of choice'. The main problem with all the non-experimental methods is lack of control over the situation. The experiment method is a means of trying to overcome this problem. The experiment is sometimes described as the cornerstone of psychology: This is partly due to the central role experiments play in many of the physical sciences and also to psychology's historical view of itself s a science. A considerable amount of psychological research uses the experimental method. <span />
