Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observation method being used by the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is physical-trace analysis, as they are measuring the wear and tear on the tiles in front of the exhibits. This is a form of observing physical evidence or traces left behind, rather than observing behavior or responses directly. Content analysis refers to analyzing written or recorded materials, response latency analysis involves recording the time it takes for a person to respond to a stimulus, and contrived analysis involves creating an artificial situation for observation. None of these methods are being used in this scenario.
