 ======================
 
-Variables in Psychology 
+*From the general contents:*
+
+3. Conducting Experiments
+  - Variables in Psychology (Martin)
+  - Contrafactual Causality (Martin / ext.)
+  - Experimental Designs (Martin)
+    - e.g. 2*2 Design gambling task
+  - Programming Experiments in Psychopy (Jona)
+    - reaction time experiment
+    - jspsych online survey
+
+
+*To Do: Intro on experiments in psychology (200 - 300 words)*
+
+Humble beginnings
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+*To Do: Simple experiment with one intervention group*
+
+*To Do: Variable types in the experiment (DV, IV)*
+
+Validity and confounders
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+*To Do: Confounding variables*
+
+*To Do: Internal vs. External Validity*
+
+A second attempt
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+*To Do: Experiment with one IG and one CG*
+
+*To Do: Causality and random group assignments*
+
+Bringing the (quasi-) into the experiment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+*To Do: Quasi-Experiments in psychology*
+
+*To Do: Include Gender as a covariate in the experiment*
+
+*To Do: Causality with non-random group assignment*
+
+Going beyond the experiment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+*Correlational studies & external validity in psychology*
+
+*To Do: Extend the experiment with a scale assessment for correlational Analysis*
