An advantage of laboratory observation is an increase in control and uniformity from one subject to another.
A disadvantage is that behavior observed in an artificial situation may not be totally normal.
The primary advantage of an experiment is the ability to determine cause and effect.
Disadvantages include experimenter effects, nonrepresentative samples, and artificial situations.
Study of the characteristics of sleep could better be studied by laboratory observation than an experiment.
Many other examples are also possible.
