Maybe there is no g. Maybe there are independent memory and

almost all IQ test tasks require both.

Which reminds: did they ever resolve the modularity and g conundrum?
That is, if there really is such a thing like g, how does it account for
the
evidence of modularity of cognitive processes that appears to operate
independently of each other (i.e., uncorrelated)? See for example:

Really, does anyone seriously entertain "g" as a theoretical construct
and not a by-product of higher-order factor analysis?
