【 摘 要 】

Cognitive neuroscientists occasionally grapple with the issue of “ecological validity”: does one's study capture essential aspects of the processes of interest, as they occur in real life? Ecological validity is frequently seen as an impossible standard to meet. In practice, it often receives lower priority than internal consistency, replicability and reproducibility, and control of experimental stimuli, variables and confounds. These desiderata have characterized research in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience in the last century. Research on language processing is no exception. The (perceived) gap between naturally occurring behavior and laboratory tasks may be even wider here than in other areas of cognitive science.
