    from Ch. 15 of Methods in Behavioral Research
  • 1. A researcher is interested in studying the
    effects of different levels of distractionnone,
    low, and highon scores on a test of visual
    memory. Participants are randomly assigned to one
    of three conditions no distraction, low
    distraction, or high distraction. All
    participants engage in a test of visual memory.
    What is the independent variable? What is the
    dependent variable? What is the purpose of random
    assignment to groups? What is the purpose of
    random assignment to groups?
  • 2. Define theory and explain its function. How
    does theory relate to the practice of psychology?

    graduate research assistants complete all of the
    data collection. They also assist in writing the
    Discussion section of the final article, adding
    their thoughts and suggestions to the various
    drafts. The article is accepted into a leading
    journal for publication. The primary researcher
    lists only himself as author of the article,
