Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study is comparing two age groups (Baby Boomers and Millennials) at one point in time, making it a cross-sectional research design. A longitudinal design would follow the same group of individuals over time and measure their verbal comprehension capacity at different points in their lives. A sequential design combines cross-sectional and longitudinal methods by measuring multiple age groups at different points in time. A time-of-measurement design focuses on measuring changes within a group of individuals over time, rather than comparing different age groups.
