Experiments in any field are performed to prove or disprove a cause-effect hypothesis. Apart from the conditions, whose effect on behavior is being tested many other parameters can affect the outcome of the experiment. These parameters are called as variables.
There are three types of variables, which alter the outcome of the experiments:
1. Independent variables are the parameters, which are modified by the experimenter and these are expected to affect the behavior of the subject.
2. Dependent variables are responsible for measuring the experiment's outcome and consistency. They are derived from the observations of the experiments. They usually include the statistical tests to address the extent of the effect of the condition on behavior.
3. Extraneous variables are parameters that a scientist intends to exclude or account for, as they affect the experimental outcome.
So, the first blank can be filled with Experiments in any field are performed to prove or disprove a cause-effect hypothesis.
