CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fluid intelligence is the ability to think abstractly, reason quickly and problem solve independent of any previously acquired knowledge.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluid intelligence is where a person is able to think abstractly and solve problems using their own judgment and logic. Fluid intelligence refers to being able to critically think without being influenced by prior education or experience. This type of intelligence is generally used when learning new things.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fluid intelligence peaks at around age 20 and then gradually declines. This decline may be related to local atrophy of the brain in the right cerebellum, a lack of practice, or the result of age-related changes in the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cognitive aging is a complex phenomenon, which comprises various cognitive skills, broadly categorized into fluid and crystallized intelligence. Crystallized intelligence (gc) tends to be maintained, as opposed to fluid intelligence (gf), which tends to decline rapidly with age.

Detailed explanation-5: -Background: Fluid intelligence declines with advancing age, starting in early adulthood. Within-subject declines in fluid intelligence are highly correlated with contemporaneous declines in the ability to live and function independently.
