Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cattell's model of intelligence differentiates between crystallized intelligence, which involves the use of learned knowledge and experience, and fluid intelligence, which is the capacity to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge. In this scenario, solving a new problem (your dog having fleas for the first time) would primarily require fluid intelligence, as it involves devising new strategies and solutions.
