Longitudinal studies involve repeatedly measuring the same group of people over a period of time, making it the best choice for assessing intelligence at different points in the life span. Predictive studies aim to predict future outcomes based on initial data, cross-sectional studies compare different groups of people at a single point in time, and cohort studies examine the characteristics of a specific group at a single point in time.
