Why is the Baron-Cohen et al. study (reading the mind in the eyes) regarded as a quasi-experiment?
because the Eyes Task was completed under highly controlled laboratory conditions
because the independent variable (having Autism/Asperger Syndrome) was a naturally occurring, pre-existing characteristic of the participants
because the study lacked a dependent variable to measure theory of mind
because the participants were matched solely on their age and educational levels
