The classical view of information processing has been challenged in recent years by alternative views. One such important view is connectionism, which tries to explain cognition by employing artificial neural networks. The purpose of this week's lecture is to introduce you to the elements of connectionist cognitive science. The lecture doesn't cover all of the text material, so be sure to be familiar with both.
