The experimental group is the group that is treated exactly the same as the control group, except for one independent variable. This allows researchers to compare the effects of the independent variable on the experimental group to the control group, which is not exposed to the independent variable. This helps to reduce the influence of extraneous variables and isolate the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable being measured.
