What are "Treatment Events?"
A Treatment Event, sometimes called an "intervention" or sometimes in performance research called a "stimulus," is an action taken to manipulate something in an experiment to study its effects on a dependent variable. For example, you might be interested in studying the effects of drinking coffee on reading performance.
In the hypothetical study for this tutorial, the intervention event is the presentation of a computer animated video depiction of the alleged crime in a jury trial.
