Answer to Question 2

Most theories of intelligence are multidimensional and identify several types of intellectual abilities. Over time, the various abilities underlying adults intelligence shows multidirectionality in which some aspects of intelligence improve while others decline during adulthood. These patterns of change also vary from one person to another which is called interindividual variability. Plasticity is the concept that intellectual abilities are not fixed, but can be modified under the right conditions at just about any point in adulthood. These terms reflect our understanding of intelligence as having many components and these components showing varying development in different abilities and different people.
