General intelligence is calculated using g factor. The g factor is basicall a measure of an imaginary aptitude that correlates across numerous measures of intelligence. Working Memory and Intelligence are inter related. The main thing is how intelligent a person is to recieve information from the source. The more intelligent the person, the better he/she will receive and understand a piece of information.
