Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Everyday memory issues research focuses on how memory operates in real-life situations, so it requires ecological validity (i.e., how well the research reflects real-world experiences) to be high. Typically, such research sacrifices some internal validity (i.e., how accurately the research measures the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable) to achieve ecological validity. Therefore, it is lower in internal validity than typical laboratory memory research.
