Abstract

Although the scientific study of the mind as a distinct discipline has been around for only a short time, there are already rumblings of a fundamental change in view about what the mind is like. At the center of this controversy is a cluster of approaches that are together variously called connectionism, neural network modeling, parallel distributed processing (PDP), or dynamic systems theory. This course is an intensive introduction to the connectionist's proposals for thinking about the mind and understanding its achievements. At the same time, it is an introduction to one way of conducting an interdisciplinary science where the boundaries between psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, computer science and mathematics are not set.
