FLUID VERSUS CRYSTALIZED INTELLIGENCE



The idea that intelligence declines with age was proved to be a misconception some time ago by Cattell and Horn. In their pioneering research into intelligence, they stated that there were two types of intelligence and that one declines with age and the other doesn’t. Do your research into these two types of intelligence to discover what they are, how they compare and how to develop them. Then write an essay.
Note to the student: the reading material suggested needs to be covered after the power point, the slides and the videos because it builds on the basic facts and goes beyond them.
Familiarize yourself with the issue:
