Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study is comparing children from two different cultures, the United States and Ireland, to determine whether Piaget's stages are universal. This is an example of a cross-cultural study. A longitudinal study would follow the same group of individuals over a period of time, a cross-sectional study would compare different age groups at a single point in time, and a case study would focus on a single individual or group in-depth.
