Experimental Group
A group that receives an experimental manipulation (treatment) that is hypothesized to cause a particular change in state or behavior. Experimental studies designed to identify causal relationships between variables must include at least one experimental group that receives a treatment and a comparison group, usually called the control group, that is similar in every way except that it does not receive the treatment.
