Question 1

Longitudinal Designs: Microgenetic

Answer 1

Designs measure the same individuals or group repeatedly in a relatively small timespan:
- Good for observing skills

Question 2

Developmental Research Designs: Sequential Designs

Answer 2

Combine the cross-sectional and longitudinal designs

Strengths:
- Can reveal age effects, cohort effects, and time-of -measurement effects (the effects of specific historical events)

Limitations
- Costly and time consuming
- Potential issues with repeated testing
