Preferred term

connectionist model  

Definition

  • The general term for one of the paradigms in cognitive science, inspired by the functioning of the brain (although some authors challenge the biological reality of connectionist models.) Connectionist models attempt to account for cognitive activities such as memory, perception, language, assuming these are done through networks of elementary information processing units (referred to as artificial neural networks). Thus, a memory in these simulation models is considered to be a particular state of a network and is characterized in particular by the weights of the connections between the units.
