Ecologically valid refers to research or tests conducted in a way that closely mimics real-life situations or conditions, making the findings more applicable and relevant to the real world. This approach ensures that the results can be generalized to everyday experiences and contexts.

A test may be reliable but not necessarily validIs it possible for a test to be valid but not reliable?

A test may be reliable but not valid. A test may not be valid but not reliable. For example, if I use a yard stick that is mislabeled to measure the distance from tee to hole in golf on different length holes, the results will be neither reliable nor valid. If you use the same stick to measure football fields that are the same length the result will reliable (repeatable, consistent) but not valid (wrong numbers of yards). There is no test that is unreliable (repeatable, consistent) and valid (measures what we are looking for).


What is the difference between a valid test and a reliable test?

Reliable indicates that each time the experiment is conducted, the same results are obtained (accuracy). Valid indicates the experiment (or test) has controlled variables and used an appropriate method/model.
