Which of the following statements is/are true of the differences between fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence?
I. Fluid intelligence tends to decrease as we age, while crystallized intelligence tends to hold steady or even increase
II. Fluid intelligence tends to increase as we age, while crystallized intelligence tends to hold steady or even decrease
III. Fluid intelligence concerns the ability to acquire new information and skills, while crystallized intelligence deals with knowledge previously acquired
Fluid intelligence concerns the ability to solve abstract problems and to use new information effectively, and tends to decrease as we age. Crystallized intelligence involves the use of information recalled from previous education and experience, and does not decrease with age (and may even get better as we get older). Statements I and III are both true.
