Explanation / Answer

Question 9

Answer:c

Explanation : Raymond Cattell was the first psychologist to coin the term crystallized and fluid intelligence where fluid intelligence is the ability to use and understand abstract reasoning while crystallized intelligence is the knowledge gathered from previous experience. Cognitive abilities such as the one to form new memories, new learning is affected as a person ages. Therefore fluid memory starts declining in late adulthood (after 65 years of age) as it is responsible for perceiving relationships between objects independent of previous experience or practice. But crystallized intelligence is related to past experiences. The neural pathways of previous memories become stronger as one ages. Therefore this intelligence remains steady.
