Internal validity refers to the extent to which a study can demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship between variables, which is achieved through control of extraneous variables. External validity refers to the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to other situations, populations, or time periods. Thus, "control is to generalization" best captures the relationship between internal and external validity.
