Answer:
In a cross-sequential design, if two different cohort groups score alike on a particular measure at the same testing point, the changes in the measured variable can be concluded to be due to the influence of the independent variable.
Explanation:
- In a cross-sequential design, the attributes of the groups are bound to display similarity due to the intangible correlation between them.
- Thus, in some cases, irrespective of how strong and invulnerable the measured variable is, it is subject to the influence of the independent variables.
