Answer 1

The sequential research study is a compromise technique that essentially examines a number of different age groups at several points in time, and permits developmental researchers to tease out the consequences of age change versus age difference.

Explanation:

• In special research studies where it is necessary to measure differences in the sample from time to time, the method of sequential research is put to use.
• In this method, the research is carried out as a series of different events over a substantial period of time and the data is recorded sequentially.
