Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A "no-treatment" condition in an experiment that measures how subjects ordinarily perform on the dependent measure is the control group. The criterion group is typically a group of individuals who have successfully completed a program or achieved a certain level of performance on the dependent measure, and is used as a benchmark for comparison. The experimental group is the group that receives the treatment or intervention being studied. A reference group is a group used for comparison, but not necessarily in an experimental context.
