Knowledge that an individual has acquired from their cultural experiences?

• A. Fluid Intelligence
• B. Crystallized Intelligence
• C. Working Memory
• D. Processing Speed

Answer: (B)

Crystallized intelligence is knowledge and skills that come from culture, education, and life experiences. It includes vocabulary, general world knowledge, and cultural references—things you’ve learned and can draw on from schooling and daily life. This makes it your storehouse of learned information that you can use in familiar situations. In contrast, fluid intelligence is about solving new problems and reasoning in novel contexts, not about what you’ve already learned. Working memory is the ability to hold and manipulate information in the moment, and processing speed is how quickly you can perform cognitive tasks. Those other abilities aren’t about accumulated cultural knowledge in the same way crystallized intelligence is.
