Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.5
How does research on fluid and crystallized intelligence contribute to our understanding of cognitive aging?
It implies a consistent level of fluid and crystallized intelligence throughout life regardless of age or experience.
It proposes all forms of intelligence progressively wane as individuals grow older.
It suggests that while problem-solving skills (fluid intelligence) may decline with age, accumulated knowledge (crystallized intelligence) often remains stable or improves.
It argues both types of intelligences improve proportionally with advancing years.
