Hi Chris I couldn't tell how they defined the reasoning part, but we can assume the memory tasks were similar to memory tasks on other tests. It would be interesting to look at factor loadings for these. It has always been my understanding that vocabulary items, as well as many Progressive Matrices items, load heavily on the first (g) factor; not sure loadings on working memory, but this is easily found.

Maybe there are independent memory and reasoning functions but statistically they look like g because almost all IQ test tasks require both. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuroskeptic/2012/12/24/how-intelligent-is-iq/#.U0Pwfui9KSM Chris .......
