Answer to #1

D

Answer to #2

C

Answer to #3

B

Answer to #4

The correlational design should specify two continuous variables, such as IQ and reading ability. Justification should include awareness that a correlational study cannot determine causation.

Answer to #5

The design may describe a natural experiment, pre-post design, or time-series design. Justification should include an awareness of why an alternative experimental design may be better suited to developmental research than a true experiment.

Answer to #6

The experimental design should include random sampling, an experimental treatment or control group, and manipulated variables. The response may include a diagram. Justification should include an awareness of cause and effect in experimental design.

Answer to #7

C
