• Psychologist Raymond B. Cattell is credited with developing the theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence.

• Cattell introduced the concepts in 1943, and the theory is often referred to as the Gf-Gc theory.

• Fluid intelligence

  This is the ability to think flexibly and apply logic. It's considered the biological component of intelligence because it can be applied to different cultural domains.

  This is the cultural component of intelligence, and it's the knowledge that's solidified from experience. It's used for tasks like vocabulary building and general information.
