I guess I'm more interested in whether my ability to learn machine learning (or whatever the equivalent is in 10 years) will decrease over whether I'll be able to remember a 7 digit number. Call that what you will. I am confused about what you consider "ability to perform". Education is a context for performance.

The theory is that your ability to memorize a 7 digit number (working memory) IS fluid intelligence. The problem is that memorizing an x digit number is proven to be trainable, without much carry over to g or even other working memory tasks. I.e. - it's hard to train fluid intelligence rather than train the specific task which it is applied to.
