This experimental framework involves subjecting a hypothesis to falsification
What is the hypothesis-falsification framework?
Which model organism is genetically more closely related to humans?
What is the mouse?
This includes all the materials, methods, tools, and even environmental conditions that are used to conduct an experiment.
What is the research system?
This is one of the disadvantages of the hypothesis-falsification framework.
What is grammatical structure, positive/negative results, redefining subject of study, prone to bias?
Nonhuman organisms often referred to as ___?
What are model organisms?
The ability to obtain consistent results when an experiment is repeated under the same conditions is known as this.
What is reproducibility?
This latin-named model draws upon existing data, deductions, or principles before experimental validation.
What is the a priori model?
“___” are needed before “real” experiment is performed?
What are trial runs?
According to the textbook, this percentage of published research is not reproducible, highlighting a great risk to scientific integrity.
What is over 50%?
The scientist should take this next step after performing their first experiment and gathering data.
What is building/modifying and refining the model/testing the model to predict future outcomes?
What is an experimental readout?
What is output or result of an experiment?
This term describes the tendency of scientists to favor conventional approaches or safer, established hypotheses rather than pursuing risky, novel ideas.
What is risk aversion?
The name for this framework serves as an alternative title for the hypothesis falsification framework.
What is the critical rationalism framework?
What are two important aspects of quantitative data produced from a system?
What are 1) Shape of the data distribution and 2) Data variability?
This type is used in experiments to ensure that the system is functioning as expected by producing a known, positive result.
What is a positive control?
