Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cohort or generation effects occur in cross-sectional designs because different generations may have different experiences that influence their responses to the variables being measured. This can create discrepancies or differences between groups that are not necessarily due to the variables being studied, but rather due to generational or cohort differences. Testing effects refer to changes in responses due to repeated testing, attrition/mortality refers to loss of participants over time, and carryover refers to the effects of previous conditions on subsequent conditions in a study.
