Can’t speak definitively about the relation of the 3 types of memory to the differences in intelligence. But IQ research in general doesn’t map well to individual outcomes. It’s a population level statistical predictor. Not useful to pay attention to it as a practitioner.

Actually, look at learning research. Memory research can be very very distracting. What I've learnt is that you *shouldn't* read neuroscience. You want the right level of abstraction. So: neuroscience is too low level, whereas brain function is often useful.

Odd. That is NOT the predominant view that I am aware of. (Taste test: is it just one paper that’s quoted? Is it a meta analysis? If yes to the former and no to the latter, the author is probably wrong).
