According to the text, the development of fMRI techniques has allowed developmental researchers to investigate brain development more effectively because this technology allows them to perform which of the following types of research?
A) cross-sectional research
B) longitudinal research
C) experimental research
D) correlational research

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

fMRI techniques allow for longitudinal research because they can track changes in brain activity over time as individuals grow and develop. Cross-sectional research involves comparing different age groups at one point in time, experimental research involves manipulating variables to test causal relationships, and correlational research involves examining relationships between variables without manipulating them. None of these types of research necessarily require fMRI techniques.
