Document Summary

Everyone running has to be the same way. Rule out potential variables that change data. Generalizability: our ability to take the data and generalize to the population we are interested.

Objective measure because people lie and are generally better if they measure physiological measures such as gsr. Reliable test-same results over and over again (similar outcomes) Naturalistic observation- blend in your environment, real world, real people, real everything.
