Fluid intelligence refers to the ability to solve new problems, use logic in new situations, and identify patterns. It typically declines with age. Crystallized intelligence, on the other hand, involves the use of learned knowledge and experience. It generally remains stable or even increases with age. Infants, having had limited exposure to learning and experience, are naturally lower in crystallized intelligence. Older individuals may experience a decline in fluid intelligence due to the natural aging process.
