Life is indeed largely experimental in nature; it is an ongoing process of learning what works and what doesn't, however, it is not true that the more experiments the better. There are some experiments that you should not be making. I was just commenting today, in reply to an earlier question, that you should not try cocaine just to find out what it is like, because that creates a possibility that you will become a cocaine addict, which is a very unhappy outcome, whereas if you never take cocaine, you will never become a cocaine addict. And there are many other things that you are better off not trying. What does it feel like to lose a finger? You don't really need to find out.
What else can I help you with?
Why is an experiment better then an observational study?
An experiment allows for the researcher to manipulate variables and establish cause-and-effect relationships more effectively than an observational study. This control helps to minimize confounding variables and biases, making the results more reliable. Additionally, experiments often involve random assignment, which enhances the ability to draw conclusions about the relationships being studied.
What are the advantages of a thought experiment?
A thought experiment isn't an experiment really, so does not compete with physical experiments. It is more of one way scientists explore ideas with each other by posing hypothetical situations. The advantage of that is that it is free to do, the only equipment it requires is a mind, and even the most impossible experiments can be proposed. e.g. "What would happen if Saturn were moved to Mar's orbit?"
Does the pavlov ring a bell?
No, "Pavlov" refers to Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known for his discovery of classical conditioning in his experiments with dogs. The ringing of a bell was a stimulus used in his experiments to evoke a conditioned response in the dogs.
What are the differences between field study and field experiment?
The field study conducts in the real situations or at field without manipulating variables while the field experiments also conducts outside from the lab but researcher saws a effect of IV on DV , here.
What are the advantages of E-prime in comparison with Presentation as experiment generators?
The advantages of E-prime in comparison with presentation as experiment generators include flexibility to create simple to complex experiments. It also includes millisecond precision of stimulus presentation.
What is the need to do more experiments called?
experiment
How can a scientific theory be changed by experiment?
Yes, it can if the experiments can add more data to make a real change. You would have to have others do the same experiments and agree with you.
After you reach a conclusion about an experiment you may find you need to experiment more.?
It is certainly possible. The conclusion from your experiment may prove to be tentative and you may need to design a better experiment to improve the reliability of the conclusion, or the experiment may suggest alternatives which you may wish to explore. Most of science is about that: an experiment leads to conclusions. Further experiments result in refinements to the conclusions and, occasionally, to the replacement of earlier theories with new models.
What did Edward Tilman's ecological experiments indicate?
Edward Tilman's ecological experiments indicated that species diversity plays a crucial role in ecosystem stability and productivity. His experiments showed that more diverse plant communities were better able to resist invasive species and recover from disturbances than less diverse communities. This suggests that biodiversity is vital for the resilience and functioning of ecosystems.
Why is it important to do an experiment more than one time?
We retest our experiments to insure accurate results and to compare with our original results.
Can a experiment have more than one independent variable?
yes it can I've done a few experiments that have had more than one independant variable.
What is true controlled experiments produce valid data valid experiments produce controlled data controlled data produces valid experiments?
With controlled experiments it is taken into consideration what possible variables there could be and it is taken into account when conducting the experiment. This would mean that controlled experiments would produce more valid data.
What is the difference between a manipulative experiment and a natural experiment?
A manipulative experiment involves actively manipulating variables to observe the effects on the outcome of interest, while a natural experiment relies on naturally occurring variations in variables to study their impact. In a manipulative experiment, the researcher has control over the variables being studied, whereas in a natural experiment, the variables are not manipulated by the researcher. Manipulative experiments are often conducted in a controlled laboratory setting, while natural experiments take place in real-world settings where random assignment is not feasible.
How many variables do most experiments have in order to be sure of accuracy?
The amount of variables has nothing to do with the accuracy of the experiment. an experiment can have 1 variable or 100 or more and be perfectly accurate. i think the word you might've meant is tests? if so (lol) then the answer can vary upon the level of accuracy you're shooting for. experiments can have as little as 2-5 tests of as many as 100+. this answer also depends on how much time you have to complete the experiment.
What happens when scientist have to redo an experiment?
Depending on the size/importance of the experiment, they can either simply repeat as normal or if needed gather more resources for the experiments. Scientists always perform experiments at least three times, to make sure nothing is abnormal in an experiment.
Why is an experiment better then an observational study?
An experiment allows for the researcher to manipulate variables and establish cause-and-effect relationships more effectively than an observational study. This control helps to minimize confounding variables and biases, making the results more reliable. Additionally, experiments often involve random assignment, which enhances the ability to draw conclusions about the relationships being studied.
Why do scientists perform experiments after suggesting an answer to a problem?
An experiment is to carried out to analiysis the suggesting answer or we called it as a hypothesis is correct or not. This will give the scientist a more accurate answer towards the problem.
