If I wanted to prove that smoking causes heart issues, what are some confounding variables?. The object of an experiment is to prove that A causes B.. A confounding variable is anything that could cause change in B, that is not A.. Prepared for:. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). www.ahrq.gov. This presentation will:.

A researcher compared the effectiveness of massed versus distributed practice in preparing for a memory test. Each of two groups memorized the definitions of 50 vocabulary words.. In group A, there were 25 participants who were all under twenty-five years of age. Participants in group A used the method of distributed practice, studying for 30 minutes on each of four evenings. They were tested on the fifth morning at 7:00 A.M. In group B, there were 25 participants who were all over sixty-five years of age.. 4. Considerations for Interpretation. Confounding. 1. .
