In the context of ANCOVA, we might consider the shared variance between the dependent variable and the covariate as _____, so we want to _____ statistically.

In practice, it is rare to find scenarios where the covariate is correlated with the ____, but not the …
|
dependent variable; independent variable.
|
|
In ANCOVA, people who argue that the independent variable must be unrelated to the covariate fail to realise that such a claim should also be applied to _______, but such a position is never asserted, because it would make no sense.

multiple regression

|
When the covariate correlates only with the dependent variable, the inclusion of the covariate in an ANCOVA causes ____ to increase.

|
In the ANCOVA example relevant to sex differences in brain size, it was demonstrated that you can get exactly the same results as an ANCOVA by performing a ______
|
partial correlation.
|
|
A _______ represents the association between an independent variable and a dependent variable, controlling for the effects of another variable on both the independent variable and the dependent variable.

partial correlation
