Confounding of variables refers to a situation where there is a third variable that affects both the independent and dependent variables, making it difficult to establish a causal relationship. However, this does not necessarily invalidate a causal inference. The other three conditions (covariation of events, a time-order relationship, and elimination of plausible alternative causes) are essential for making a causal inference.
