Según, conforme and a medida que may introduce temporal clauses expressing that the action in the subordinate clause happens at the same time as the action in the main clause. They have a similar function as the more common conjunction mientras.
Let's see some examples:
Según se hacen mayores mis hijos, se vuelven menos comunicativos.As my children grow older, they become less sociable.
The three conjunctions are interchangeable and they all allow different tenses as well as the subjunctive. Using the subjunctive will depend on the action being seen as a future action. The second example above with conforme reflects a future action (Mañana en la reunión, conforme yo apunte...")
Other examples:
Según vayas conociendo a tus compañeros te sentirás más a gusto en el trabajo.As you get to know your colleagues, you will feel more at ease at work.
It is very common to find these conjunctions with the structure "Ir + gerund", which accentuates the progression of an action.
