Did you know that the DSEC Lab has 2 studies that involve bringing participants into the lab at multiple timepoints across development? In this post, Ph.D. student Daniel Nault explains the difference between a cross-sectional study and a longitudinal study. 📝 What are the benefits of each? In a cross-sectional study, data is collected at one time point; in a longitudinal study, participants are invited back to collect data at multiple time points 🗓️.
Have you ever participated in a study that involved coming back for 2 or more visits? Let us know in the comments below!
