... children learn to read, skilled reading, and reading impairments (dyslexia). The models are computer programs that simulate detailed aspects of behaviour. This article provides an overview of connectionist models of reading, with an emphasis on the “triangle” framework. The term “connectionism” refers...

... and algorithms used to perform the task, and how the latter are implemented by physical systems. This then motivates discussion of three common approaches to modeling human cognition and behavior: process models, production-system models, and connectionist models. Each of these approaches is critiqued...

... are in percentages correctly inflected forms in a sentence completion task (The boy likes to walk; yesterday he ___,) computed across all forms used in their study. From van der Lely and Ullman ( 2001 ). Fig. 9.1 Data from connectionist models of normal and impaired past tense acquisition...

... evidence from a variety of methods gives us the greatest confidence in our hypotheses. The conclusions and controversies of the classical period of connectionist modeling have persisted over time and continue to frame the approach to the neural bases of cognitive systems in the modern era. With both bottom...

...This chapter focuses on case studies of connectionist models of perseveration for understanding infants' reaching behavior and children's rule-guided behavior. These models demonstrate how general connectionist principles (1) provide a unified framework for understanding perseveration across ages...

... inferences, connectionism has become the most plausible model of the organization of knowledge in the cerebral cortex. All connectionist models and neural network models assume the distribution of knowledge in assemblies of units, neurons, or nodes that constitute and represent the component elements...

...—particularly those stressing statistical learning—are reviewed alongside connectionist theories such as interactive activation and competition models, error-driven learning networks, and adaptive resonance theory. The article examines how connectionist models represent speech pre-lexically, and how...

...Process models of higher cognition come in three basic varieties: traditional symbolic models, traditional connectionist models, and symbolic-connectionist models. This chapter reviews the basic representational and processing assumptions embodied in each of these approaches and considers...

The conclusion points to open theoretical issues raised by new findings in connected speech. connectionist models distributed representation lexicon psycholinguistics speech word form spreading...

This chapter discusses the methodological criteria of implicit knowledge, the meaning of implicit/explicit knowledge, the three types of explicitness, analysis of a connectionist model of artificial grammar learning, and the differences of connectionist models and implicit...

... that have been called “connectionist” form a fuzzy and heterogeneous set whose members often share little more than a vague family resemblance. However, the present argument linking connectionism to eliminativism will work only for a restricted domain of connectionist models, interpreted in a particular way...
