De s ig n s fo r exa m in in g de ve lo p m e n t. Cross-sectional design, longitudinal design and micro-genetic design (provide heightened versions of experiments to see the development, development in transition) People of different ages studied at the same point in time; 1 task, multiple age groups. Same participants observed repeatedly over time, therefore avoid cohort effect. Time period may be brief (6 months 1 year), some have lasted decades. Cons: expensive, time consuming, subject loss (move, changed minds, death)
