Introduction to Connectionist Modelling of Cognitive Processes

Connectionism is a way of modelling what the brain does, based on the way that the brain does it. This book describes the principles of connectionist modelling, and the application of these models to understanding how the brain produces speech, forms memories, recognizes faces, and how intellect develops and deteriorates after brain damage. The book contains software for the cnnectionist simulator that is user-friendly and will run on either Macs or PCs.
