They also decide whether the trial is worth it depending on the type.What is Validity and why is it important in psychological studies?- Validity is the extent to which conclusions drawn in research are legitimate. Validity is important because there are factors/outliers that make it difficult to make the study look authentic. What are the 3 Parts of an Ethical Experiment?- Law, Theory and HypothesisWhat ways can one design research?-Descriptive, Correlational, Experimental, Naturalistic, Case Studies, and Surveys.Lecture 4 (September 2)Explain the independent and dependent variables in an experiment…why do they exist?- The Dependent Variable talks about the outcome, this is the part that we don’t know beforehand; whereas, the independent Variable is the part that gets controlled in some way throughout the course of the experiment. . What are Confounding Variables?- Confounding variables are other factors that could cause differences to the control group and the experimental group. They are threats to validity and can harm the outcome. To avoid this there are random assignments and placebo effects implemented to avoid any form of bias or conflict from the patient or experimenter. What are mean, median and mode?- The median is the number in the middle after all numbers are lined up consecutively. The mode is the most popular number in a set of numbers. Finally, the mean adds all thenumbers up and divides by total number of numbers, basically the average. What is the fundamental rule of correlation?- CORRELATION DOES NOT MEAN CAUSATION!!!Lecture 5 (September 4)How is correlation defined numerically? - Correlation is charted from -1 to +1. Example (+) Number of drinks increases, as does the likelihood of saying something stupid. (-) Number of drinks increases as the ability todrive decreases. (Inverse). What are the three main stages of Prenatal Development?- First, the Zygote that is first 2 weeks of development, rapid cellular division. Next comes the Embryo starting at 2 weeks and ending at 2 months of pregnancy. This is where the high risk of congenital defects happens at this age. Finally the last stage is the fetus, starting at 3rd month until the end of pregnancy. Increased growth and organ function, by 7 months all systems are functioning but they are immature.
