The reminded group receives the treatment and is the experimental group

Explanation:

In a psychological experiment, the experimental group is also known as the experimental condition, refers to a group of subjects or participants who are vulnerable or exposed to the independent variable. Also, these subjects or participants are exposed or receive the treatment variable. They receive the variable that is being tested one at a time. So, the experimental groups find an answer in the given experiment.
