A researcher decides to measure the development of moral reasoning from early to late childhood.

At a single point in time she tests 20 four-year olds, 20 six-year olds, and 20 eight-year olds by presenting each with the same moral dilemma and recording their responses on a questionnaire. She then compares the performance of the three groups. The researcher is using a type of design referred to as:

a. longitudinal
b. cross-sectional
c. cohort-sequential
d. qualitative
