APFIVE Researchers conducted a longitudinal study tracking 500 students from kindergarten through high school. They administered multiple intelligence assessments annually, including tests of spatial reasoning, verbal ability, and mathematical skills. The researchers found that students’ scores in each area showed different developmental trajectories, with some abilities developing earlier than others. Which methodological conclusion is best supported by these findings?
The longitudinal design invalidates the reliability of the intelligence measures
The results support Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory over Spearman’s g factor theory
The sample size is too small to draw meaningful conclusions about intelligence development
The study design cannot determine causation between age and intelligence development
