From associations to rules : connectionist models of behavior and cognition : proceedings of the tenth Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop, Dijon, France, 12-14 April 2007 / editors, Robert M. French, Elizabeth Thomas.

This book introduces a host of connectionist models of cognition and behavior. The major areas covered are high-level cognition, language, categorization and visual perception, and sensory and attentional processing. All of the articles cover unpublished research work. The key contribution of this b...
