Control group
01
a group in an experiment or study that does not receive the treatment or intervention being tested
Example
The control group in the study provided a necessary baseline for evaluating the impact of the dietary changes.
In the drug trial, the control group received a placebo while the experimental group received the actual medication.
The control group was monitored under the same conditions as the experimental group, but without exposure to the new treatment.
To ensure valid results, the study included a control group that did not undergo the therapy.
By comparing the control group to the test group, scientists were able to isolate the effects of the new variable.
