Parallel Distributed Processing. Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition. Volume 2. Psychological and Biological Models

Description

Издательство MIT Press, 1999, -619 pp.The chapters in this volume continue the explorations of parallel distributed processing that we began in Volume I. The accompanying table lays out the organization of both volumes. Part IV, which begins this volume, presents parallel distributed processing (PDP) models of psychological processes, and Part V explores the biological mechanisms of parallel distributed processing in the brain. Part VI provides a brief retrospective discussion of the whole book and our thoughts about future directions.The various parts of this book are interrelated, but they can generally be read in any order, and indeed most of the chapters can be understood without reference to the rest of the book. However, readers may find it useful to read some of the chapters in Part I before delving into the specific topics covered in the chapters of Parts IV and V. A discussion of the contents of each chapter and the background that is relevant to, it may be found in the introductory section at the beginning of each part of the book.Volume 1 Foundations (/file/1781043/)Part I The PDP PerspectiveThe Appeal of Parallel Distributed Processing A General Framework for Parallel Distributed Processing Distributed Representations PDP Models and General Issues in Cognitive Science Part II Basic Mechanisms Feature Discovery by Competitive Learning Information Processing in Dynamical Systems: Foundations of Harmony TheoryLearning and Relearning in Boltzmann Machines Learning Internal Representations by Error Propagation Part III Formal Analyses An Introduction to Linear Algebra in Parallel Distributed ProcessingThe Logic of Activation Functions An Analysis of the Delta Rule and the Learning of Statistical Associations Resource Requirements of Standard and Programmable Nets P3: A Parallel Network Simulating SystemVolume 2 Psychological and Biological Models (/file/1781045/)Part IV Psychological ProcessesSchemata and Sequential Thought Processes in PDP Models Interactive Processes in Speech Perception: The TRACE ModelThe Programmable Blackboard Model of Reading A Distributed Model of Human Learning and Memory On Learning the Past Tenses of English VerbsMechanisms of Sentence Processing: Assigning Roles to Constituents Part V Biological Mechanisms Certain Assess of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Cerebral CortexOpen Questions about Computation in Cerebral Cortex Neural and Conceptual Interpretation of PDP Models Biologically Plausible Models of Place Recognition and Goal LocationState-Dependent Factors Influencing Neural Plasticity: A Partial Account of the Critical PeriodAmnesia and Distributed MemoryPart VI ConclusionReflections on Cognition and Parallel Distributed Processing
