Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Independent variables are the variables that the experimenter manipulates or changes in order to observe the effect on the dependent variable. The dependent variable, on the other hand, is the variable being measured or observed and is dependent on the changes in the independent variable. Autonomous and synchronous are not commonly used terms in experimental design, and dependent variables are not the variables that the experimenter manipulates.
