Supplement. In scientific experiments, the use of controls allows to study one variable or factor at a time. It is, however, important that both the control and other (experimental) group(s) are exposed to the same conditions apart from the one variable under study.
If the experimenter is aware of the hypothesis of the experiment, it is more likely that the hypothesis will be confirmed. The experimenter-bias effect can be controlled by keeping not only the subjects (single-blind) but also the experimenter blind to the hypothesis. This is called the double-blind procedure.
