Determining causality

 

 

 

 

Three conditions are necessary for determining causality: empirical association, appropriate time order, and nonspuriousness. In an experiment, ten people who had frequent headaches participated in a study. Five of the participants were given pain aides while the other five were given placebos. Results were recorded. Discuss whether causality was established by meeting the three conditions.
