Review the information in your text and in this week's PowerPoint presentations concerning confounds and their impact on a researcher's ability to determine cause and effect relationships. Once you have a clear understanding of confounds generate three descriptions of experiments that include a confound. Your descriptions can be published studies that you add a confound to or a fictitious study from your imagination. If you use published studies make sure to cite them. Each of your descriptions should include the following:
1. A general description of the study including a hypothesis
2. Names and operational definitions for independent variables and dependent variables
3. Identification of the confounding variable
4. An explanation of the effect of the confounding variable when attempting to answer whether or not the hypothesis is supported
5. The solution for the confound
