A cross-sectional study involves gathering data from individuals at one specific point in time. In this case, Professor Juarez is planning on testing individuals of different ages at one specific time. A cohort study would involve following a specific group of individuals over time, and a longitudinal study would involve testing the same individuals at multiple time points. The Flynn effect refers to the phenomenon of IQ scores increasing over time, but it is not directly relevant to Professor Juarez's study on spatial ability.
