2. Control Group A group in the experiment that gets a fake treatment and are used to compare against the groups who get real treatments. Use to measure the effects of the treatment.

3. Control Treatment The measurement from the control group used as a baseline to compare the treatment groups against

4. PlaceboPlacebo Effect -A fake treatment that looks just like the real treatment used to make the subjects think that they have received the treatment. -The effect the subjects get from the placebo just because they think they got the real treatment even though they did not. Click pills for clip

5. Blinding – Single and Double -Keeping anyone who could affect the outcome or measurement of the response variable from knowing which subjects have been assigned to which treatments. -people are so good at picking up subtle cues from researchers and workers that the researchers and workers who come in contact with the subjects should be kept from knowing who gets what treatment.

7. Best Medicine? At one time, a method called “gastric freezing” was used to treat people with peptic ulcers. An inflatable bladder was inserted down the throat and into the stomach and then a cold liquid was pumped into the bladder. Now you can find the following notice on the internet site of a major insurance company.

8. Best Medicine? Our company does not cover gastric freezing for chronic peptic ulcer disease. Gastric freezing for chronic peptic ulcers is a non-surgical treatment which was popular about 20 years ago but now is seldom performed. It has been abandoned due to high complications, only temporary improvement and a lack of effectiveness when tested by double-blind, controlled clinical trials. B1) What are the subjects/units of the experiment?

17. Bipolar Disorder Over a 4-month period, among 30 people with bipolar disorder, patients who were given a high dose (10g/day) of omega-3 fats from fish oil improved more than those given a placebo. The experiment involved a control group of subjects who received a placebo. 1) What are the subjects/units of the experiment? Answer on student notes.
