What is the term for the ability to think abstractly and solve complex problems?

  1. Information processing

  2. Spatial intelligence

  3. Executive function

  4. Metacognition

The correct answer is: Executive function

Executive function is the term for the ability to think abstractly and solve complex problems. Information processing refers to how we acquire, store, and retrieve information. Spatial intelligence is the ability to perceive and understand spatial relationships and patterns. Metacognition is the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes. While these skills may contribute to someone's ability to think abstractly and solve complex problems, they are not the specific term used to describe this ability. Therefore, they are not the correct answer.
