questions with answers |\ |\
Behaviorism - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔All behavior is learned |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
through a focus on observable behavior
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
case study - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Detailed investigations of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
one subject. Highly detailed, but specific to one case

control group - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Group that is not exposed
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to the Independent variable
|\ |\ |\ |\
Correlation - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A measure of the

relationship between two variables |\ |\ |\
dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Variable that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
represents the measurable response of participants
