Question 2

It has been suggested that schizophrenics exhibit difficulty in visually tracking the movement of a swinging pendulum.

To test this hypothesis, a researcher recruits a subject pool of 20 diagnosed schizophrenic patients and compares their eye-tracking behavior with that of a control group of 20 non-schizophrenic participants. Given this lack of random assignment of subjects to experimental groups, this study would best be characterized as a(n)

a. experiment.
b. quasi-experiment.
c. correlational study.
d. case study.
