Dr. Sheffield wants to investigate the causal relationship between frustration and memory. She divides participants into two gro
ups using random assignment. One group is given a problem to solve that has no solution, inducing frustration, while the other group is given a problem to solve that has a solution. Then both groups have their memory tested. The group that is in the frustration condition can also be called the
In every research or experiment, there is always an experimental group and control group.
Experimental Group is simply the group in ang scientific experiment where the experimental procedure is being carried out upon. This group is exposed to the independent variable being tested and the changes are therefore observed and recorded for research purposes. It is known to receive some type of special treatment in relations to the independent variable.
They can also have multiple experimental groups such as high rate and low rate.
