Yeah, it's bad wording. "Cognitive ability" generally refers to g. Calling g "cognitive ability" is valid - if a bit confusing - since it more or less correlates with most of the things we would consider cognitive, though as this chart shows, not all. But if you want to be exact, you should say just g and not "cognitive ability".
