....The last point can probably be overcome if we apply techniques developed by Jordan [1986] and Elman [1989] Nevertheless we have to merge the various parts into a single system while retaining all the benevolent properties of the single system. Some of the research problems are taken from [McClelland et al. ] which deals with connectionist models in the much more general framework of cognitive science. 28 The Plausibility Problem Is a certain massively parallel model biologically plausible or does it violate established knowledge The Methodology Problem Massive parallel systems lack a design ....

....mental states in terms of what they represent. For a neurological version of eliminativism, see P.S. Churchland, 1986; for a behavioral version, see Watson, 1930; for a syntactic version, see Stich, 1983) Connectionists are on the Representationalist side of this issue. As Rumelhart McClelland (1986a) say, PDPs are explicitly concerned with the problem of internal representation (p 121) Correspondingly, the specification of what the states of a network represent is an essential part of a Connectionist model. Consider, for example, the well known Connectionist account of the bistability of ....
....therefore presumably not representational. But this is misleading: Connectionist modeling is consistently Representationalist in practice, and Representationalism is generally endorsed by the very theorists who also like the idea of cognition emerging from the sub symbolic . Thus, Rumelhart McClelland (1986a) insist that PDP models are . strongly committed to the study of representation and process (p. 121) Similarly, though Smolensky (1988) takes Connectionism to articulate regularities at the sub symbolic level of analysis, it turns out that sub symbolic states do have a semantics, though ....
