Scientists make distinction between “fluid” intelligence - includes short-term memory, analytical reasoning, and the ability to tune out distraction, and “crystallized” intelligence - accumulated knowledge, vocabulary and expertise. Crystallized knowledge climbs sharply between ages 20 and 50 and then plateaus, even as the fluid intelligence is dropping steadily by more than 50 % between ages 20 and 70 in some studies. - Hambrick
