Abstract: The ability to abstract, store and recover information from the environment in order to generate new strategies to solve problems is one of the most important qualities of the human brain. We mean by strategy, the sophisticated way to solve a problem. A strategy represents in essence the refinement of a given behavior to solve a problem. A strategy could be generalized to solve different problems. The generation of strategies is subjected to the correct functioning of the brain, meaning, alertness, attention, memory among others brain processes in good stand. In this work we focus on the role of memory in the generation of strategies. In this context, we focus on the literature concerning to memory systems, to show that different memory systems process and store different kinds of information. Therefore, the generation of a given strategy would require the participation of one system instead of other, or at least, one system would be commanding over the others. A memory system is defined as neural network consisting on a central structure communicated through afferences and efferences with others. The ones conveying information to this central structure would provide information from the internal or external environment to be interpreted and stored; while the ones that receive information from the central structure would execute its commands. Curiously, the role of central structure can be played by one structure A that in other conditions was under the control of a structure B. In this condition, B is under the control of A...
