4. Lab Experiment
Definition of
Lab
Experiment
A process of establishing cause and Effect relationship
by controlling the effect of confounding variables and
manipulating the value of independent variable
Controlling
Training Performance
Past Experience
Manipulation
Want to study the
effect of amount of
light
Use different amount
of light
5. Lab Experiment
Different experimental groups will have same value of
the confounding variables
Matching
Randomization All the groups will have randomly assigned members
Controlling the Contaminating Effect of Exogenous
Variables
6. Experiment or Measure
The source of effect is only the variable whose impact
we are studying

External
Validity
Generalizing the results to the other settings

E = O5 – O3
E = (O2 – O1) – (O4 – O3)
If All E are similar the
Causal relation is
established
23. True Experimental Design
Ex Post
Facto
Design
There is no manipulation of independent
variable only the subjects who have already
been exposed to a stimulus and those who
have not been exposed to are compared.
