Document Summary
Cattell and horn fluid/crystallized intelligence factors that they labeled as fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. Fluid intelligence is described as largely nonverbal form of mental efficiency related to a person"s inherent capacity to learn and solve problems. Crystallized intelligence is highly culturally dependent and represents what one has learned through the investment of fluid intelligence in cultural contexts. Cattell, horn, & carroll"s chc model of intelligence. The chc theory recognizes ten factors existing under general intellectual ability (g: reading and writing ability, auditory processing, long-term retrieval, processing speed, decision speed and reaction time, fluid reasoning, quantitative reasoning, crystallize knowledge, short-term memory, visual processing. Analytical: ability to think abstractly, and process information effectively. Creative: ability to formulate new ideas to combine seemingly unrelated facts of information. Practical: ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions and to shape the environment so as to maximize ones strengths and compensate for ones weaknesses. Gardner"s theory of multiple intelligences: linguistics, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, naturalist.
