    External Validity [accessibility a11y]

    “Simply, there is no way that any human factors work *** can maintain external validity with a single study, the participant numbers are just way too low - even when we have 50 or 100 users - meaning that the sample is just too heterogeneous.”* I was really pleased recently to receive this (partial) review from ‘Computers in Human Behavior’. It really seems like this reviewer actually understands the practicalities of Human Factors work.
