The student must have one group of people (the experimental group) receiving Ritalin (which is the independent variable), while another group (control group) receives nothing or a fake pill with no medicine ( placebo). The student will need to operationally define how the ADHD symptoms will be measured at the end of the study. That is, the student will have to discuss how the dependent variable (ADHD symptoms or hyperactivity) will be quantified.
