Answer to Question 1

In the typical single blind study, the researcher can still communicate expectations to the participant in very subtle ways, without knowing about it. If the experimenter doesn't know which group the participant is in, though, it will be impossible to communicate critical information that will affect the participant's behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Longitudinal designs permit the study of change in an individual over time, avoiding cohort effects that could confuse change over time in a person with change due to different environments. Cross-sectional designs are quicker to complete, allowing assessment of different populations in a short time period.
