How to Improve Fluid Intelligence in The Age of Crystallised Knowledge

Working Memory, by Jaeggi, Buschkuehl, Jonides, and Perrig, proved that it’s possible to increase your intelligence to a significant degree through training.

Intelligence encompasses many related mental abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn.

Lets talk about two types of intelligence.

The idea of two distinct types of intelligence was first proposed by the psychologist Raymond Cattal in the 1960’s. Raymond first dissected intelligence, identifying two types: crystallized and fluid.

Fluid intelligence was further developed by Cattell and his student John Horn in the 1970s and 1980s.

Fluid intelligence has found its way into almost all major models of intelligence.

General fluid ability is commonly defined as the ability to solve problems in unfamiliar domains using general reasoning methods (Carroll 1993; Cattell 1963).

Your ability to use use learned knowledge, skills and experience is called crystallised intelligence.

2. Was it that bad?

3. It's not that it's bad rather it's an issue on my part of lacking the education to understand it.

4. this is a really fascinating article.

this kind of explains a concept that I have had over the years regarding the ability to draw.

many people feel that they can't draw or weren't born with the "talent".

I have long maintained that artistic ability is not a inherent talent but one that is encouraged from an early age and that anyone can draw.

it's just learning to see things in a different way and training your hand to follow.

I've been drawing since I was 3 but I believe because it was encouraged.

All kids draw and I think in some families or learning situations it's openly fostered while others might deem it a waste of time or a "hobby" a best.

those who have a positive experience, go on to make art a huge part of their life, but more over, they exhibit a different view on the world because they perceive things differently due to that encouragement.

I honestly believe anyone can learn to draw.
