ABSTRACT
Aim. The study analyzes the influence of environmental factors on cristalyzed and/or fluid intelligence stimulation and their apport in increasing efficiency.
Material and method. Two groups of students were stimulated by environmental factors aiming to temporarily increase fluid intelligence, or both cristalyzed and fluid intelligence. The effects were evaluated using a special designed test.
Results and conclusion. For a task that requires att ention, being under time pressure, fluid intelligence stimulation is crucial, improving the results by 21.88%. The benefit of supplementary stimulating crystallized intelligence, brought only an increase 10 times weaker, of 2.03%, up to 23.91% in performance improvement. This advantage was obtained by consuming a double time versus the group receiving only stimulated fluid intelligence.
We managed to reduce by over 20% the errors by stimulating fluid intelligence by environmental factors.
