The independent variable is the lack of sleep. 2. Why do you think this strategy would be effective? The strategy of this experiment will be effective, because it will show internal validity, which provides compelling evidence that the causal (independent) variable causes changes in the outcome (dependent) variable. 3. Describe the…

different groups of people generating a un-concluded end result. As a result of various factors it is impractical to prove one theory to be correct .

the ideas our complex brains come up with during sleep. The men and women who lived during the events of the Holocaust do not need a sleep study done on the in order to know what causes their nightmares, nor do they need scientists to hypothesize and determine the cause. Often traumatic events can take the place of normal dreams and replace any of the brains normal dream functioning. Elie poses the question, “Is it any wonder that ever since then, sleep tends to elude me?” (p. 31, M, L), after…
