In one group, you can give one group a type of treatment. And then you see if one group did better than the other. You"re looking at people for treatment a and for treatment b, you"ll get equivalent manipulating variables to see the difference. These groups are theoretically the same: lab experiments, the difference between a lab and in real-life is that it is more controlled. You have more control over what is going on. It may not generalize to outside things, and may not be very realistic.
