Description:
Connectionism and the Mind, Second Edition introduces connectionist networks and explores theoretical and philosophical implications. Much of the discussion has been updated, and 2 new chapters have been added on the relation of connectionism to recent work on artificial life and dynamical models of cognition.
Expand description
Connectionist models (also known as artificial neural network or parallel distributed processing models) implement the idea that complex cognitive operations can be carried out by very simple, neuron-like elements when they are assembled into networks by means of weighted connections. Intelligent performance is derived from the propagation of activation across units, and the fundamental cognitive activity is pattern recognition and completion.
