Try thinking about intelligence in a non-human context. In discussions about life forms off-earth, those discussions often categorise life forms as intelligent or not. The context is about “first contact protocols” and the like. In these discussions intelligence is used as meaning no more than cognition.

Memory and problem-solving require cognitive ability but are much more than that. I think we are captives of our misuse of the term intelligence.
