Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although older adults may maintain or even improve their crystallized intelligence (accumulated knowledge and experience), research has shown that they are more likely to experience declines in fluid intelligence (the ability to reason and solve new problems). However, this decline is not universal and some older adults may still perform well in tasks that require fluid intelligence.
