A neuropsychologist compare the auditory abilities of blind versus normally sighted rats. He predicted that the visually impaired rats would have better auditory development than normally sighted rats. He raises two groups of rats for a year (one normally sighted, one blind) and assessed auditory development by examining the neural activity in the auditory cortex of each rat.

Name the following:

Independent variable:

Levels of the independent variable:
