Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a longitudinal design, multiple measurements of the dependent variable are taken over time, the length of time between these measurements can vary depending on the topic of study, and the longer the time between measurements, the more other factors can potentially influence the dependent variable. This design is effective for evaluating changes over time, such as the effectiveness of training or retention of knowledge, making all the provided options correct.
