experimental subjects do not know which treatment (if any) they are recieving.
What is blind experiment design

Any experimental condition applied to the research subjects of an experiment.
What is treatment
200
Term: The irrational belief that actions that are not logically related to a course of events can influence its outcome.
What is superstition
200
Niether the experimental subject, nor the experimenter knows which treatment a subject is recieving.

One atom transfers one or more of its electrons completely to another.
What is ionic bonds

A group of subjects who are exposed to a particular treatment.
What is experimental group
