Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fluid intelligence is the ability to to think abstractly, reason quickly and problem solve independent of any previously acquired knowledge. Whilst it is considered separate to crystallized intelligence, they are closely interlinked and due to the multiplicity of tasks, we utilise both in many of the same situations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluid intelligence involves being able to think and reason abstractly and solve problems. This ability is considered independent of learning, experience, and education.

Detailed explanation-3: -Function: Fluid intelligence includes working memory, processing and reasoning speed, cognitive control, complex skills, creativity, and attention tasks. Crystallized intelligence includes wisdom and involves practical, factual, general, and specialized knowledge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fluid intelligence is your ability to process new information, learn, and solve problems. Crystallized intelligence is your stored knowledge, accumulated over the years. The two types work together and are equally important.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fluid intelligence (gf) refers to basic processes of reasoning and other mental activities that depend only minimally on prior learning (such as formal and informal education) and acculturation.
