The books are now considered seminal connectionist works, and it is now common to fully equate PDP and connectionism, although the term " connectionism " is not used in the books.
32.
In fact, the different operating bases of SIT, connectionism, and DST, correspond to what Marr called the computational, the algorithmic, and the implementational levels of description, respectively.
33.
Fodor and Pylyshyn say that cognitive architecture can only explain the property of systematicity by appealing to a system of representations and that connectionism either employs a cognitive architecture of representations or else does not.
34.
Pinker accepts a weak form of the connectionism model to explain the origin of the small number of recent irregular verbs that obtained their past tenses due to surface similarity to other already-irregular verbs.
35.
Other disadvantages of connectionism lie in the research methods it employs or hypothesis it tests, which has been proven inaccurate or ineffective often, taking connectionist models further from an accurate representation of how the brain functions.
36.
Maturana & Varela proposed the term " enactive " " to evoke the view of knowledge that what is known is brought forth, in contraposition to the more classical views of either cognitivism or connectionism.
37.
The basic theory of concepts is intended to be ecumenical, having a version that applying in the case of connectionism, as well as versions that apply to both the prototype theory and definitions view of concepts.
38.
In his first book, " The Algebraic Mind : Integrating Connectionism and Cognitive Science " ( MIT Press, 2001 ), Marcus challenged the idea that the mind might consist of largely undifferentiated neural networks.
39.
In this sense connectionist models may instantiate, and thereby provide evidence for, a broad theory of cognition ( i . e ., connectionism ), without representing a helpful theory of the particular process that is being modelled.
40.
Connectionists have responded to Fodor and Pylyshyn by denying that connectionism uses LOT, by denying that cognition is essentially a function that uses representational input and output or denying that systematicity is a law of nature that rests on representation.
