A psychology instructor studying the effects of the order of test items on test scores gave half the class a test in which the item order reflected the order in the textbook. The other half received the same questions in random order. What was the DEPENDENT variable in this experiment?

Answer:

The results/scores of the students on the tests.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied, in this case the results are being studied when the independent variable (the order of the questions) changes.
