Experimental realism refers to the extent to which an experiment is engaging and involves its participants psychologically, while mundane realism refers to how much an experiment physically resembles the real world. If participants are not psychologically involved, the experiment is low in experimental realism, but if the setting closely resembles the real world, it is high in mundane realism.
