[/quote]Of course, memory is a lower level skill. We can all be trained to have a photographic memory. If this is the case then we can improve our IQ through training.[quote]Without the ability and capacity for memory there is  NO intelligence or smarts...NONE.  The only intelligent individuals I have encountered over the decades with poor memory were individuals with early Alzheimer's and dementia roaming naked and absent minded -- intellectual ghosts of their former selves.  These formerly intelligent folk do not agree with you that memory is a lower lever skill.[/quote]

No one is saying you can have intelligence without memory. Intelligent people have good memories, but it is possible to have a great memory but not be very intelligent. Almost anyone can be trained to memorize. Problem solving is a higher order thinking skill and not so easily trained.

A six year old who solves puzzles without being taught how to to them is usually smarter than a kid who can't do the puzzle without being taught how. Learning and memorizing the steps to solve a puzzle is different than figuring out how to solve a puzzle on one's own.  Anyone can do the first, not just anyone can do the second.
