TLDR
In this paper, the authors present another view of representation in connectionist networks and respond to statements about ALVINN by both Vera and Simon and Greeno and Moore (1993).

Principles of Neural Science

Michael P. Alexander
- 06 Jun 1986 - 
TL;DR: The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.

Being There: Putting Brain, Body, and World Together Again

TL;DR: Clark as mentioned in this paper argues that the mental has been treated as a realm that is distinct from the body and the world, and argues that a key to understanding brains is to see them as controllers of embodied activity.

Foundational Issues in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science: Impasse and Solution

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general critique of the problem of representation and the consequences of encodings in AI and Cognitive Science, and present an alternative approach to representation in the Interactive Model.

Towards a cognitive robotics

TL;DR: The strategy will be to argue from within a general framework that accepts many of the basic premises of the work (in new robotics and in dynamical systems theory) that motivates such scepticism in the first place.

The Proper Treatment of Symbols in a Connectionist Architecture

TL;DR: Ezinative connectionism offers a direct challenge to the PSS hypothesis, thereby transforming the latter from an axiom of cognitive science into a controversial theoretical position, which has been vigorously Regardless of whether models based on distributed representations provide genuine alternatives to physical symbol systems, it is apparent that they have attractive properties as possible algorithmic accounts of cognition.

Principles of Neural Science

TL;DR: The principles of neural science as mentioned in this paper have been used in neural networks for the purpose of neural network engineering and neural networks have been applied in the field of neural networks, such as:

Connectionism and cognitive architecture: a critical analysis

TL;DR: Differences between Connectionist proposals for cognitive architecture and the sorts of models that have traditionally been assumed in cognitive science are explored and the possibility that Connectionism may provide an account of the neural structures in which Classical cognitive architecture is implemented is considered.

The symbol grounding problem

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of grounding symbolic representations in nonsymbolic representations of two kinds, i.e., "iconic representations" and "categorical representations" is addressed.

On the proper treatment of connectionism

TL;DR: In this article, a set of hypotheses is formulated for a connectionist approach to cognitive modeling, and these hypotheses are shown to be incompatible with the hypotheses underlying traditional cognitive models, which are considered are massively parallel numerical computational systems that are a kind of continuous dynamical system.
