Answer:

MARK AS BRAINLIEST

Explanation:

An experiment is a procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated.

Advantages Disadvantages

researcher can have control over variables can produce artificial results

humans perform experiments anyway results may only apply to one situation and may be difficult to replicate

Experimental Method:

  • Manipulation of one variable to check the effect and changes on other variables is known as the Experimental method.
  • It is used to determine the relationship between different variables.
  • It is used to test a hypothesis.
  • It is used to explain human behaviour.
  • This method includes associating different aspects like attention, perception and emotions.

The process includes an Experimental Method:

  1. First identify the key features related to the topic.
  2. Formulate a hypothesis.
  3. Manipulate one variable to check the effect on other variables.
  4. Remove the irrelevant features to obtain good results.

Advantages of Experimental method:

  1. Removal of irrelevant variables - Experimental methods allow the researcher to have high control by the removal of irrelevant features.
  2. Gives space for multiple variations- Using the experimental method allows researchers to use multiple variables.
  3. Provides reliable results - Experimental method allows researchers to easily understand the relationship between different variables thus providing reliable and accurate results.

Disadvantages of Experimental method:

  1. Based on the hypothesis - The experimental method is based on a hypothesis, sometimes the results produced are far from reality.
  2. Uses a lot of financial resources and time - Manipulation of the various variables, again and again, uses a lot of finance and time of the researcher.
  3. Ethical issues related- when the experimental method is used for biological research involving animals and humans it gives rise to several ethical issues.
