I’ve seen this referenced a lot, especially with psychology, but can someone explain what exactly it means? How does correlation not imply causation? Sometimes, does correlation ever imply causation?

Correlation just means two things are related, such as ice cream sales and burglary, but one is not causing the other, they both just happen to occur more when it’s warmer out
If something is the cause of another thing, it’s no longer just correlation, and now you have a dependent and independent variable relationship
