Answer to Question 1

An operational definition is a definition of a variable in terms of the operations (activities) a researcher uses to measure or manipulate it. Thus, an operational definition of intelligence could be based on one's score on an intelligence test or on one's ability to solve a problem that the researcher has determined requires intellectual ability.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
