Abstract:This paper aims to offer a new view of the role of connectionist models in
the study of human cognition through the conceptualization of the history of
connectionism - from the simplest perceptrons to convolutional neural nets
based on deep learning techniques, as well as through the interpretation of
criticism coming from symbolic cognitive science. Namely, the connectionist
approach in cognitive science was the target of sharp criticism from the
symbolists, which on several occasions caused… Show more
