The reminded group receives the treatment and is the experimental group

Explanation:

Experimental group: In psychology, the experimental group indicates the group of participants who are susceptible to the independent variable. These participants are exposed to the treatment variable. An experimental group receives the variable being tested. These groups are used to get answers in an experiment.

The scientific control is an experiment designed to reduce the effects of variables apart from the independent variable.
