consciousness, as many have been doing recently, there are two fundamentally distinct …

Within cognitive science, two approaches currently dominate the problem of modeling
representations. The symbolic approach views cognition as computation involving symbolic …

The first volume in this trilogy exploring Christian theological method addressed the

network algorithms. Word category maps are SOMs that have been organized according to …

Although connectionism is advocated by its proponents as an alternative to the classical
computational theory of mind, doubts persist about its computational credentials. Our aim is …

A computational theory of induction must be able to identify the projectible predicates, that is
to distinguish between which predicates can be used in inductive inferences and which …

Когда человек воспринимает доступные его зрению признаки, по которым опознается
(видится) конкретный предмет, он соотносит его с уже известной его разуму моделью …

We advance a theoretical framework which combines recent insights of research in logic,
psychology, and formal semantics, on the nature of diagrammatic representation and …

In this paper we defend a position we call radical connectionism. Radical connectionism
claims that cognition never implicates an internal symbolic medium, not even when natural …
