👉 Counterbalancing is a scientific method used in psychology and neurology to determine whether or not two variables are positively correlated. In this method, the dependent variable (the thing that we want to predict) is compared with its own value, and the correlation coefficient is calculated between these two values. If the correlation coefficient is positive, it means that the two variables have a positive relationship; if it's negative, they have a negative relationship; and if it's zero, there is no significant relationship.
