During normal development‚ there are a variety of epigenetic programming and reprogramming event that occur (Raven et al‚ 384).

Control experiments - an experiment in which the variable factors are controlled so as to make it possible to observe the results of varying one factor at a time. Qualitative descriptive research (case studies) – Ultimate goal is to improve practice. This presupposes a cause/effect relationship between behavior and outcome; however‚ this method will ONLY let you hypothesize about variables and describe them. When you move to show correlation among them‚ you’re doing quantitative work. But remember
