How does the concept of crystallized intelligence apply to individuals in late adulthood?

It explains the ability to acquire new knowledge
It represents the ability to problem-solve
It is acquired skills and knowledge accumulated over a lifetime
It is based on emotion and motivation

The correct answer is: It is acquired skills and knowledge accumulated over a lifetime

Crystallized intelligence refers to the accumulated skills and knowledge gained over a lifetime, including language, vocabulary, and general knowledge. This type of intelligence continues to develop and increase in late adulthood, as individuals have had more time to accumulate this knowledge. Option A is incorrect because it refers to fluid intelligence, which is the capacity for learning new information and problem-solving. Option B is also incorrect, as problem-solving skills are associated with fluid intelligence. Option D is incorrect because crystallized intelligence is not based on emotion or motivation, but rather on accumulated knowledge and skills.
