Crystallized intelligence comprises the skills and knowledge acquired through education and acculturation. It is related to specific information and is distinct from fluid intelligence, which is the general ability to reason abstractly, identify patterns, and recognize relations. Applying old knowledge to solve a new problem depends on crystallized intelligence.
