Answer to Question 1

Answer: Experimental methods are procedures for uncovering causal processes by systematically manipulating some aspect of a situation. The advantages of the experimental method are the ability to manipulate variables, carefully control the participants' environment, and to infer causality. Disadvantages of the experimental method include limits to cause-effect conclusions if potential confounds are not controlled for and to the generalizability or external validity of the findings. In addition, experiments are unable to study many kinds of naturally-occurring behavior.
