QUESTION 1
The best way to deal with confounding variables is tostatistically control for their effects after your experiment has been conducted.adjust your independent variables during your experiment when you discover the confounding.carefully plan how your independent variables are to be executed.

QUESTION 2
Confounding variablesshould be included in your experiments, because they clarify causal relationships among variables.can be eliminated by using factorial designs.can be substituted for independent variables.pose a serious threat to the internal validity of experiments.

QUESTION 3
Within-subjects designs cope with the problem of error variance bymatching subjects prior to random assignment to conditions.treating each individual as a separate unit in the statistical analysis of the data.using the same subjects in all treatment conditions.using different subjects in each treatment condition.

QUESTION 4
According to the text, a disadvantage of a within-subjects design is thatit is less powerful than a between-subjects design.more subjects are required than in a between-subjects design.each subject must spend more time in your experiment and may become fatigued.matching of subjects becomes cumbersome even in simple within-subjects designs.

QUESTION 5
Within-subjects designs are most useful whensubject differences contribute heavily to variation in the dependent variable.carryover effects are large.carryover effects vary unpredictably.subject differences do not significantly affect the value of the dependent variable.

QUESTION 8
A drawback to quasi-experimental research studying the impact of naturally occurring events on behavior is thatsuch events rarely occur.it is difficult to predict when such events will occur.when natural events occur, they are usually too subtle to have a great impact on behavior.

QUESTION 21
A drawback to the randomized two-group design is that itprovides a limited amount of information about the effect of the independent variable.leaves too many sources of variance unaccounted for.is time-consuming to run.produces data that are difficult to analyze.

QUESTION 22
Dr. Jones conducts a randomized two-group experiment on the effect of a drug on learning. She finds that subjects who receive the drug do more poorly on a memory test than those who do not receive the drug. Which of the following would Dr. Jones be justified in concluding?There is a linear relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.There is a curvilinear relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.There is no relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.It would be dangerous to speculate on the nature of the function relating the independent and dependent variables.
