Connectionism in Context aims to broaden and extend the§debate concerning the significance of connectionist models.§The volume collects together a variety of perspectives by§experimental and developmental psychologists, philosophers§and active AI researchers. These contributions relate con-§nectionist ideas to historical psychlogical debates, e.g.,§over behaviourism and associationism, to develop-§mental and philosophical issues. The result is a volume§which addresses both familiar, but central, topics such as§the relation between connectionism and classical AI, and§less familiar, but highly challenging topics, such as§connectionism,associationism and behaviourism, the dis-§tinction between perception and cognition, the role of en-§vironmental structure, and the potential value ofconnec-§tionism as a means of "symbol grounding". The nine essays§have been written with an interdisciplinary audience in mind§and avoid both technical jargon and heavy mathematics.
