Fluid and crystallized intelligence

The Negative Impact of the Internet on Intelligence During the First World War, the Chicago tribune wrote an article about the world famous industrialist Henry Ford. In the article, Ford was referred to as ignorant amongst other scathing remarks attacking his intelligence. Ford, obviously, didn’t take kindly to this and filed a lawsuit against the paper for libel. The lawyers for the Tribune were so confident, that they put Mr. Ford on the witness stand, and asked him a long series of questions in an effort to show his lack of intelligence. Eventually Mr. Ford became irritated and lashed out with words that have gone on to live in infamy. Essentially he stated that he has buttons in his office that summon different people, and that when he had questions, he only needed to know which button to hit, to summon the specific expert to assist with his concern. He went to explain that he need not fill his mind with useless information, because those experts had the information for him. (Ford) Ford was a revolutionary man. He was a successful man. He was also a very rich man. His track record argued for him that his time was better spent on other ventures than learning…

been said that once the aging results are in an inevitable loss of cognitive abilities, that nothing can be done to halt the decline. Research, however does not support this claim (Cherry 2016). Although certain areas of thinking do show a normal decline as individuals age. For example, the intelligence of an aging adult. There are two different fundamental types of skills such as fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. Fluid intelligence is the ability to apply mental power to…

Fluid intelligence refers to the ability to acquire and process information. In computers, this would be the processing speed and RAM capacity — the more you have, the faster and more effortlessly you can multi-task, and…

using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales, 4th Edition (WAIS-IV), in addition to supplemental subtests from the Woodcock-Johnson Test of Cognitive Abilities, 4th Edition (WJ-IV Cog). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, long-term memory, visual-spatial processing, fluid reasoning ability, processing speed and auditory processing. On the WAIS-IV, subtests that measure different cognitive processing abilities combine to form…

Psychologists have tried to define and measure intelligence for years. The definition of intelligence is the capacity to understand the world, think with rationality, and use resources effectively when faced with challenges (Wechsler, 1975). Many psychologists have tried to define intelligence in their own words and develop tests to measure the intelligence quotient (IQ). These tests can lead to positive and negative outcomes. In the beginning, Alfred Binet created the first IQ test to…

Expected Norms of Late Adulthood: A. Behavioral Norms During middle adulthood, age is more about how one feels not their chronological age. A common finding is that as adults become older their identity age is younger than their chronological age. During this time period of life, some abilities decline but there are abilities that increase. Crystallized intelligence continues to increase whereas fluid intelligence begins to decrease. Most cognitive abilities begin to decline around during the…

There are two types of intelligence such as: fluid and crystallized. Fluid intelligence is where an individual reflects information processing capabilities, reasoning and memory. For example, a person memorizes a set of numbers (LO8.7). While, crystallized intelligence is where an individual has accumulated knowledge through experience and use it to solve problems (LO8.7). According to Joy, she feels that her crystallized intelligence is strong than her fluid intelligence because when she was a…

1. Intelligence relates to the way one naturally learns, reasons, problem solves and uses wisdom. Wisdom being when and where to use the knowledge you have. Intelligence is measured by the capacity at which one can do the things listed prior. Intelligence is cognitive behavior. This concept can be explained by looking at the IQ test, they aren’t test, it measures our experiences and knowledge and problem solving. So, if an IQ test measures intelligence then this is what intelligence can be…

intelligent. However, there are as many arguments to the contrary as there are in agreement with this article. Psychology researchers have pointed out that fluid intelligence and crystallize intelligence are increased with the use of the internet and others have concluded that the use of the internet is merely a shift in how humans learn and process information. These factors are what make the internet more helpful then harmful when examining the learning capacity of the human brain. When…

Correspondingly, my Critical Annotation of the book entitled “Appraisal Procedures for Counselors and Helping Professionals” was focused on testing and assessments used in helping professions. The construct of intelligence is largely focused on “individual differences in mental ability” (Drummond, 2004, p. 124) and has over the years had several models postulated in an attempt to theorize its facets. Some of the more prominent models purported includes Thurstone’s Multifactor theory, Vernon’s…
