Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crystallized intelligence refers to knowledge and skills that are acquired through experience and education. As older adults have had more time to accumulate knowledge and experience, they are likely to score higher on tests of crystallized intelligence. Fluid intelligence, on the other hand, refers to the ability to reason and solve novel problems, and tends to decline with age. Standardized and lateralized intelligence are not recognized types of intelligence.
