4. An educated guess that derives logically from a theory.
6. The observation of behavior in a real-world setting.
8. The initial learning of the connection between the unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus when these two stimuli are paired.
9. The variable that may change in an experiment in response to changes in the independent variable.
12. A systematic, relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs through experience.
13. An in-depth look at a single individual.
15. Learning that occurs through observing and imitating another's behavior.
16. Data collection tool used to gather information.
19. Research that determines the basic dimensions of a phenomenon.
21. A form of associative learning in which the consequences of a behavior change the probability of the behavior’s occurrence.
22. The participants in an experiment who receive the drug or other treatment under study.
23. A single number that indicates the overall characteristics of a set of data.
24. A carefully regulated procedure in which the researcher manipulates one or more variables that is believed to influence some other variable.
25. Mathematical procedures that are used to describe and summarize sets of data.

1. The variable that the experimenter changes to see what its effects are.
2. Learning that occurs when an organism makes a connection between two events.
3. Research that examines the relationship between variables.
5. A phenomenon in which the expectation of the participants produces an outcome.
7. A broad idea or set of closely related ideas that attempts to explain observations and to make predictions about future observations.
10. Mathematical methods that are used to indicate whether the data sufficiently supports a research hypothesis.
11. The process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not others.
14. The participants in an experiment who are like the experimental group except for a manipulated independent variable.
17. A stimulus that produces a response without prior learning.
18. The tendency of a new stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response.
20. A previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicits a conditioned response after being paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
