Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sequential designs involve conducting multiple cross-sectional or longitudinal studies and are used to overcome the limitations of traditional developmental designs. This allows researchers to compare age groups at different points in time and assess changes over time within the same cohort. Sequential designs also allow for testing of developmental theories and examining age-related differences that may be confounded in traditional designs. Experimental, correlational, and quasi-experimental designs are not specifically aimed at overcoming the limitations of traditional developmental designs.
