Yes in a way, and no in a way.
In a blind study, the control group will be the group that is administered the placebo, the sugar pill, while the experimental group will be treated with the actual medication (if this is a study on how a medication affects something).
That way, the researchers can see what side effects are real or not (obviously people on the sugar pill will not be experiencing nausea as a cause of the pill but rather because their mind thinks they are).

What is a experimental group?
In a scientific experiment it is common to split your sample into (at least) two groups. Say you were to study the effect of a new drug on a specific condition, you would have a sample (a group of people with the condition in question e.g. breast cancer), and you would treat all members of the sample the same, with the exception that one group is give the actual drug, and the other group is given a "fake" pill. This fake pill is also called a placebo. The group that is given the real drug is called the experimental group, and the group that is give the placebo is called the control group. This setup attempts to ensure that any effect that is observed is caused by the drug (the experimental condition).
What is an experimental control?
A group of experimental subjects that is not exposed to a chemical or treatment being investigated so that it can be compared with experimental groups that are exposed to the chemical or treatment. cw: An experimental control may be the control group. In general, the experimental control is something that allows you to say that the treatment effects on the experimental group are due to the treatments, rather than anything else.
What is The key difference between an experimental and a quasi-experimental study is that the quasi-experimental study?
The key difference between an experimental and a quasi-experimental study is that a quasi-experimental study does not involve random assignment of participants to treatment or control groups. Instead, it often relies on existing groups or conditions, making it less controlled than a true experimental study. This lack of randomization can lead to potential confounding variables affecting the results, which makes it more challenging to establish causal relationships.
Variables that are always different between the experimental and the control groups are?
Independent variables. If the treatment has no effect , the dependent variables for both the control and experimental group may be the same. cw: In some studies, there is no specific control group. For instance, in a drug study where subjects are given a random amount of the drug (from 0 up to some presumed safe level) then you cannot easily tell what the "experimental" group is -- you can't compare everyone else to the two subjects who got a placebo (0 mg/kg). You can tell whether the treatment is having a linear effect, etc.
What in an experiment is the standard used to compare with the outcome?
In an experiment, the standard used to compare with the outcome is called the control group. The control group is a group that is not exposed to the experimental treatment and is used as a baseline for comparison to determine the effects of the treatment on the experimental group.
What is the relationship between Control and experimental groups?
control groups are those which you keep constant you don't do anything to them and experimental groups are the ones which you are adding something to it to see what happens
What factor is kept the same between the control and experimental groups is called?
A factor that is kept the same between the control and experimental groups is called
What do control groups and experimental groups not have in common?
The variable being tested. The difference between the two groups after the experiment will ideally show some effect by the variable element.
What is an experimental and control group?
it is the groups in experiment
Should you have more control groups than experimental groups in an experiment?
In an experiment, having more control groups than experimental groups is not a strict requirement; rather, it depends on the specific research question and design. Control groups serve as a baseline to compare the effects of the experimental conditions, so having multiple control groups can help account for variability and confounding factors. However, too many control groups may complicate the analysis and interpretation of results. The key is to balance the number of control and experimental groups to effectively address the research hypothesis while maintaining clarity in the findings.
Control and experimental groups are identical except for what?
The control and experimental groups differ in that the experimental group is exposed to the treatment or intervention being studied, while the control group is not. This allows researchers to isolate the effects of the treatment and compare it to a baseline.
Are control groups and experimental groups the same thing?
In a controlled experiment, there are two groups. The control group is a group that nothing happens to. The experimental group is the group that you subject to the variable with which you are experimenting. At the end of the experiment, you test the differences between the control group, for whom nothing happened, and the experimental group, which received the variable. The difference (or similarities) between the two groups is how your results are measured.A control group is the group used for comparison in an experiment. One group receives the treatment that is being tested by the experiment; another group (the control group) has the exact same controlled environment, but does not receive this treatment. The effectiveness of the treatment can then be established by comparison with the control group.
Control and experimental groups are identical except for the?
Independent variable
What are the 2 different groups in a scientific experiment?
experimental and control
What is the difference between a control groups and experimental groups?
The control is a group that is held constant and is not experimented with, The experimental group is the group that is experimented with
What are things that are both the same for experimental and control groups?
the number of participants in both groups are usually the same
What are the two groups you need to have an experiment?
You need a control group and an experimental group.
