Empirical is the information you received and found out, and theoretical the information that is set. For example, if you were doing a lab related to acceleration due to gravity, the theoretical value would be 9.81 m/s squared and the empirical value would be the value you calculated.
Medical research often involves a combination of both empirical and theoretical approaches. Empirical research relies on data and observations gathered through experiments or direct measurements, while theoretical research involves the development of conceptual frameworks and models to explain phenomena. Both aspects are important for advancing our understanding of medical conditions and developing new treatments.

Empirical anything is what is observed. Theoretical is a calculation of what things ought to be.

Empirical probabilities.
empirical probability is when you actually experiment with it and get data values, and theoretical probability is when you use math to make an educated guess.

They are both measures of the likelihood of events.
Empirical Distribution: based on measurements that are actually taken on a variable. Theoretical Distribution: not constructed on measurements but rather by making assumptions and representing these assumptions mathematically.
In theoretical probability, the probability is determined by an assumed model (for example, the normal distribution). (compare with empirical probability)
The psychology approach emphasized the study of mental processes and behavior using scientific methods, whereas earlier approaches were more philosophical or anecdotal. Psychologists also focused on understanding individual differences and the role of environment in shaping behavior, which separated their approach from earlier perspectives. Additionally, psychology sought to use empirical research to test hypotheses and develop theories, distinguishing it from earlier speculative or theoretical approaches.
