This volume provides an overview of a relatively neglected branch of connectionism known as localist connectionism. The singling out of localist connectionism is motivated by the fact that some critical modeling strategies have been more readily applied in the development and testing of localist as opposed to distributed connectionist models (models using distributed hidden-unit representations...

"..the book contains many excellent papers."
—Journal of Mathematical Psychology"The editors have done a commendable job of laying out a general approach to psychological theory building and testing. Importantly, they have also done much to show how connectionist modeling can be linked to information processing approaches in psychological science."
—Contemporary Psychology
