Fluid Intelligence
A core concept in Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory of intelligence, referring to the capacity for reasoning, logical analysis, and adaptation when confronting novel problems. It is closely associated with genetic and neural foundations, remains relatively stable in adulthood, and is considered difficult to substantially improve through domain-specific training.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The reverse Flynn effect is mainly concentrated in fluid intelligence tests, while crystallized intelligence remains stable or rising.
Abstract pattern completion tasks such as Raven's Progressive Matrices are used by the cognitive science community as a core tool for measuring fluid intelligence.
The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory of intelligence distinguishes between fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence.
Fluid intelligence refers to the capacity for reasoning and adaptation when facing entirely novel problems, is closely tied to genetic and neurological foundations, and remains relatively stable or even declines with age in adulthood; crystallized intelligence refers to knowledge and skills accumulated through learning and can continue to grow.
