CFA Practice Question
Male students are assigned randomly to either a rote learning (memorization) treatment or to a discovery learning treatment. At the end of the experiment, students are tested for their ability to answer questions on an achievement test. The results indicate that fast learners in the discovery treatment do better than the slow learners in this treatment, but there is no difference in performance between the two types of learners in the rote treatment. In this experiment, the achievement test result serves as:
A. a primary independent variable
B. a dependent variable
C. a control variable
