Description Review Questions Task 3 Chapter 10 Identify two reasons why it might be important to conduct experiments in natural settings. Explain how laboratory experiments and those conducted in natural settings differ in terms of control, external validity, goals, and consequences. Describe the three distinguishing features of true experiments and identify what can be said about the independent variable based on these characteristics. What hurdles do researchers have to overcome when trying to conduct experiments in natural environments? Identify two procedures that allow researchers to randomly assign participants to conditions while giving all participants access to the experimental treatment. Chapter 12 What does it mean to say that the results of a statistical test are "statistically significant"? What is the difference between Type I and Type II errors? What three factors determine the power of a statistical test? Why is a repeated measures design likely to be more sensitive than a randomized group design?
