Maturation refers to the natural changes that occur in the participants over time, which can affect the outcomes of a study but is not directly related to construct validity. Construct validity concerns how well a test or experiment measures up to its claims of what it's supposed to be measuring, whereas maturation impacts the internal validity by introducing changes in participants that are unrelated to the experimental manipulation.
