OG解释，关于as和when

caterpillar

1.                 The Wallerstein study indicates that even after a decade young men and women still experience some of the effects of a divorce occurring when a child.fficeffice" />

(A) occurring when a child

(B) occurring when children

(C) that occurred when a child

(D) that occurred when they were children（D）

(E) that has occurred as each was a child

Choice E includes an incorrect verb tense (has occurred) and wrongly replaces when with as

想问一问，as 和when引导时间状语从句的时候都有什么区别？是不是as表示一个渐进的过程，而when表示一个短暂的时间？

Snazzy

3.as --     While; during or at the same time that; when; as, he
         trembled as he spoke.

                                 As I return I will fetch off these justices. --Shak.


it's from dictionary. but i am sure there is some diffference. let's get some examples to analyze

caterpillar

我的印象里OG还有一个较典型的句子，好象是as they aged. 表示“随着他们年龄变老”，表示一个渐进的过程。
