Forward studies typically occur in controlled laboratory environments, often involving isolated or semi-isolated settings. These can include:
1.
Laboratories
: Controlled spaces where experiments are conducted under strict conditions to observe the forward causality of variables.
2.
Simulated Environments
: Artificial settings designed to mimic natural environments but with controlled parameters.
3.
Animal Cages
: Controlled spaces for studying animal behavior and responses to stimuli.
4.
Computer Simulations
: Virtual environments where complex systems can be modeled and observed over time.
These settings allow researchers to isolate specific variables and observe their effects in a controlled manner, facilitating the study of cause-and-effect relationships.
