TI Fluid and crystallized intelligence: effects of diffuse brain damage on the WAIS.
QU Perceptual and Motor Skills 1980 Aug; 51(1): 121-2
PT journal article
AB In the 1940's two forms of intelligence, fluid and crystallized, were postulated. Active mental processing (WAIS performance subtests) were fluid while well learned abilities (WAIS verbal subtests) were crystallized. Brain damage was considered to affect fluid abilities more than crystallized. WAIS scores comparing normal and diffusely organically damaged subjects indicated that, as hypothesized, the verbal subtests were more affected than the performance subtests.
