Hi, a group of college students were given a short course in speed reading.
00:03
The instructor was curious if monetary incentive would influence the performance on a reading test taken at the end of the course.
00:10
Half the students were offered $5 for obtaining a certain level of performance on the test.
00:14
The other half were not offered money.
00:16
What are the independent and dependent variables? okay.
00:20
So independent variables are like the cause.
00:22
That's kind of the thing we start with, the thing we're experimenting with.
00:25
Okay.
00:26
And in this sense, the independent is the offer of $5 made by the purpose.
00:30
Professor.
00:31
That to me is the independent variable.
00:34
We're really seeing if, like, that was monetary incentive to do well on a test...
