Egon Brunswik coined the term to refer to the correlation between perceptual cues and the states and traits of a stimulus. Martin Orne adapted the term to refer to the generalization of experimental findings to the real world outside the laboratory. Both are legitimate uses of the term because the ecological validity of the cues in an experiment determines the ecological validity of the experiment itself.
埃贡·布伦斯维克创造了这个术语来指代感知线索与刺激的状态和特征之间的相关性。马丁·奥恩对该术语进行了改编，用以指代将实验结果推广到实验室之外的现实世界。这两种都是该术语的合理用法，因为实验中线索的生态效度决定了实验本身的生态效度。
