Answer to Question 1

Baltes and his colleagues suggested these four terms as ways of conceptualizing adult intelligence. They are as follows:

(a) multidimensionality refers to the fact that intelligence is not a singular intellectual quality, but rather is an amalgam of many different cognitive skills
(b) multidirectionality refers to the fact that as we age, some skills may advance while others simultaneously decline. This is a normal pattern of developmental change and is to be expected
(c) interindividual variability refers to the fact that while general trends in developmental changes across groups can be appreciated, individual patterns of change can vary greatly from person to person
(d) plasticity refers to the fact that people's intellectual abilities cannot be fixed, per se, but can be modified under the right conditions at just about any point in adulthood.

Answer to Question 2
