Question 3

what is ecological validity

Answer 3

questioning whether we can generalise the results to different settings

Question 4

what is mundane realism

Answer 4

does the study mirror how it would appear in the real world

Question 5

what is temporal validity

Answer 5

can the study be generalised beyond the time period in which its investigated

Question 6

Question 8

Answer 8

whether the test includes face validity, concurrent validity and predictive validity

Question 9

what is predictive validity

Answer 9

FACE or CONCURRENT VALIDITY

Answer 11

we look to see if the test makes sense to test what is says its testing

how to improve validity

Answer 13

-controlling extraneous variables so they don’t influence the experiment for internal validity
-making the investigation as real as possible in reference to setting and task for external validity
