simulator validity fidelity

Driving simulator validity and fidelity: absolute and relative behavioral validity against on-road driving, physical versus psychological fidelity, motion versus fixed-base comparisons, validation of simulator measures against instrumented-vehicle measures, and generalizability of simulator findings. The methodological validity of the simulator as a research instrument, distinct from simulator_sickness (a side effect) and from simulator_training_transfer (training effectiveness); papers asking whether the simulator tells the truth.
