" The results are likely to be the same (or very similar) if the experiment is replicated: sensitive. Sensitive measures are used - such that even small differences resulting from manipulation of the iv will be detected: externally valid. The results are generalisable beyond the lab setting (applicable in the real world) Give a test, then repeat it at a later time. Reliability is then calculated by examining the relationship between the 2 scores (correlation) Problem: practice/learning effects, something happening in between testings: alternate-form reliability.
