Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crystallized intelligence refers to accumulated knowledge and skills, typically acquired through education and experience. A score on a vocabulary test can be seen as a measure of one's accumulated knowledge and would therefore be an operational definition of crystallized intelligence. The other options, such as speed or accuracy in specific tasks, do not necessarily reflect accumulated knowledge and skills.
