Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: There are two kinds of variables in an experiment. One is the independent or stimulus variable, which is the one manipulated by the experimenter. The other is the dependent variable, which is the subjects' behavior in response to that manipulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: An experiment is a technique for determining the effect of one or more variables or events on behavior. When psychologists want to determine the effect of just one stimulus variable, they arrange an experimental situation in which only that variable is allowed to operate.
