nature approach
AKA experience approach- emphasized importance of environment for development (you are who you are b/c how raised)
nurture approach
development is a gradual, additive process without sudden change (babies learn to sit, then crawl, then stand, then walk… buildup)
continuity view
development is discontinuous qualitative transformations (stages-- childhood to adolecense to adulthood)
discontinuity view

What is the problem with longitudinal research?
are expensive, both in time and money Attrition loss of research participants over time… (non-random =trouble… random like death doesn’t hurt facts)
