He also anticipated the themes associated with perceptual plasticity, developmental accounts of modularity, and connectionism. |
|
That led me into this debate about connectionism, which is about how you might build a neural network model of the mind. |
|
There is a major debate within the philosophy of mind between proponents of classical cognitive architecture and proponents of connectionism. |
|
Eliminativists are interested in connectionism because it promises to provide a conceptual foundation that might replace folk psychology. |
|
Some philosophers have maintained that connectionism entails that there are no propositional attitudes. |
|
He is an exponent of connectionism, the theory that behavior and thought should ultimately be explained in terms of physical connections between neurons. |
|
His basic idea is an early version of what is now called connectionism or neural net theory. |
|
See the entry connectionism for an overview. |
|
Implementationist connectionism is a more ecumenical position. |
|
One common implementation of such an approach makes use of a neural network or connectionism. |
|
The language of connectionism is used by Cilliers, although he promotes this as a technique within the context of modeling of complex systems. |
|
Classical computationalism, connectionism, and computational neuroscience. |
|
Thagard covers well some historically important approaches to understanding mental computations, specifically rule-based digital computation and connectionism. |
|
More specifically, in connectionism neurons are modelled as units and neuronal synapses are represented by the connections between nodes or weights. |
