random assignment
Random assignment ensures that bias does not cause differences in representative samples divided into experimental and control groups.
stratification
Double-blind procedure
no, because they have different qualities
the control group does not receive receive an experimental treatment but stay in the same environment.
Behavior analysis consists of 3 main areas of study that are distinctive (behaviorism, experimental analysis of behavior, and applied behavior analysis). Experimental analysis of behavior was created by B.F. Skinner and involves clinical or laboratory experiments that demonstrate basic principles of behavior. Applied behavior analysis derived from experimental analysis and involves applying the basic principles in invidual's natural settings. Basically, the settings and some methodoligies used for experimental control are different.
Control groups are used in experiments for comparison purposes.
experimental control
The experimental control is what you compare your experimental data with. Without the control, you can't tell if the variable you are testing is what is causing your results.
All properly-designed experiments should have some sort of control.

control group
When doing experiments you have to have a control group and an experimental group. The control group is not given a drug (for example), while the experimental group is. This will show (later on) if the drug had a real effect. Sometimes the control group will be given what is called a placebo. This looks just like the drug that the experimental group is given, except it has nothing in it.
