Question

Professor Rashad is interested in studying cognitive development. He collects and compares data from a group of 6-year-olds and a group of 10-year-olds. Five years later, he compares these two groups to each other again as well as to their own performance in the study five years ago. What type of research design is Professor Rashad using? cross-sequential design longitudinal design behavior genetics design cross-sectional design applied behavior analysis design

Answer 1

Answer: cross-sequentional design

Explanation:

A cross-sequential design is a combination of a longitudinal (analizes the same variable for example a group of people, over a period of time) and a cross-sectional design (analizes data at a specific point of time).

Cross-sequational method in the example given is comparing different groups of people at different times.
