This study describes a cross-sectional research design. Dr. Meyer gathers 200 volunteers and sorts them into five different age brackets (i.e., groups) to test their eye-hand coordination skills. He compares the results of the five age groups to each other to draw a conclusion about how eye-hand coordination changes across the lifespan. In cross-sectional research, groups of individuals in different age brackets (i.e., cohorts) are compared at a single point in time to examine age-related differences.
