“…Figure 4-5 illustrates four processes running at the same time, continually sending information to each other, in a system called an auto-associative network (Ackley et al, 1985;Hopfield, 1982;Kohonen, 1977). Auto-associative networks can model many cognitive phenomena, such as tracking moving objects (Dawson, 1991), paired-associate learning (Rizzuto & Kahana, 2001), visual search (Fukushima, 1986;Gerrissen, 1991), and concept categorization (Anderson et al, 1977). Auto-associative networks illustrate connectionism (Bechtel & Abrahamsen, 2002;Dawson, 2004;McClelland & Rumelhart, 1986;Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986b).…”
