摘要：

As illustrated by research Koehler himself cites (Dawes et al. 1993), the purpose of experiments is to choose between contrasting explanations of past observations - rather than to seek statistical generalizations about the prevalence of effects. True external validity results not from sampling various problems that are representatives of ''real world'' decision making, but from reproducing an effect in the laboratory with minimal contamination (including from real world factors).
