由于将变化概念化为一系列累积的增量和减量，导致测量和分析问题使变化研究变得复杂。相比之下，个人成长曲线将变化描述为个人绩效背后的连续过程。对这两种观点进行了回顾，并澄清了在变化研究中使用差异分数的一些问题。将传统方法与增长曲线分析进行对比，以测量变化并研究其相关性。关于儿童闭合性头部损伤后认知功能恢复的研究提供了使用生长曲线的说明性示例。
Research on change is complicated by problems of measurement and analysis stemming from a conceptualization of change as a series of accumulating increments and decrements. In contrast, individual growth curves depict change as a continuous process underlying individual performance. These two perspectives are reviewed, and some problems with the use of difference scores in the study of change are clarified. Traditional methods are contrasted with growth curve analysis for the purposes of measuring change and studying its correlates. An illustrative example of the use of growth curves is provided from research on recovery of cognitive function following pediatric closed head injury.
