1. What does the study of human development examine?
2. Which research design repeatedly tests the same participants over time?
3. Researchers find that adults who grew up during a major economic crisis differ from adults who grew up during prosperity; what may explain this difference?
What does human development study across a person's lifespan?
How a person changes physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially from conception to death.
What factors shape human development?
Genes, environment, and personal experience.
How does a longitudinal design study development?

By comparing different age groups at one point in time.
What causes a cohort effect?
Differences from growing up in different historical periods or conditions, not ageing itself.
How does a cross-sequential design help separate effects?
By first comparing age groups and then retesting them later to separate age, cohort, and time-of-measurement effects.
