2. The Experiment

The experimental method (see pages 28-34 of the textbook(download link given below) for information about experiments) allows for the study of cause and effect relationships. An experimental design requires controlled elements in order to make these causal statements. For this assignment you will be asked to use several key concepts of an experiment.

Researchers are interested in learning whether listening to music while studying improves memory. Design an experiment to test whether music can improve memory of nonsense syllables of 40 college students.

3. How will you select your sample from the population?

4. How will you select who is assigned to the control or experimental groups?
