What is the experimental condition in an experiment?

The group that does not receive the treatment
The condition that serves as a comparison
The condition that exposes participants to the treatment
The variable that is being manipulated

The correct answer is: The condition that exposes participants to the treatment

The experimental condition in an experiment is the condition that exposes participants to the treatment being studied. Option A is incorrect because the group that does not receive the treatment is known as the control group. Option B is incorrect because the condition that serves as a comparison is also known as the control condition. Option D is incorrect because the variable being manipulated is known as the independent variable. The experimental condition is the condition that is being tested to see if it has an effect on the dependent variable.
