Summary Introduction

Introduction

When it comes to answering questions about cause and effect, the preferred method is the use of an experiment. In an ideal experiment, a group of research participants are given a treatment, which is referred to as an experimental group. However, for the purposes of having a baseline comparison, there is also another group that is not given the treatment in question.
