....can in turn be used to estimate the number of objects. The second part of the model makes a less surprising prediction: estimating the number of objects visible should be difficult if the objects vary greatly in size. We are now working on a connectionist implementation of our model, based on Gasser and Colunga s (1997) Playpen model of object individuation and spatial relations. Acknowledgments We wish to thank the following for their comments and encouragement: Mike Gasser, Deborah Alterman, Paul Purdom, Heather Drake, and Dan Friedman. ....

....of the match between linguistic and non linguistic categories on the relative ease of words, the influence of linguistic categories on attention to perceptual dimensions, and the influence of linguistic categories on the way in which non linguistic categories are represented. The Model Playpen (Gasser Colunga, 1997) is a connectionist model of the acquisition of word meaning. For the purposes of this paper, the following features of the model are relevant: 1. The network is a generalization of a continuous Hopfield network. Units are updated randomly until the network settles. 2. Network units have relative ....

.... are generalizations over instances of the category, relational categories such as above are generalizations over instances of the category (see Kersten Billman, 1997) In the next section, we present a new model of relational representation based on these ideas: Gasser Colunga s Playpen model (Gasser Colunga, 1997, 1998) DEVELOPING RELATIONS 16 A new proposal about relational representations We propose that relations are represented in terms of directly accessible relational associations which specify how objects are related to one another in terms of object features and inter relations associations. ....
....seems to define the relation for us, correlates with the relative size and movability of the objects. Playpen In this section we summarize the main features of Playpen, focusing on those that are relevant for this paper. For technical details see Gasser Colunga (1998) Architecture Playpen (Gasser Colunga, 1997, 1998) is a connectionist model of the acquisition of word meaning. The network itself is a generalization of a continuous Hopfield network; that is, it consists of symmetrically connected simple processing units which respond by updating their activations when certain units are clamped to a ....

.... 3 THE MODEL The model we will be describing is part of a larger project, Playpen, whose goal is to model the development of spatial cognition (Figure 1) We are particularly interested in how vision, motion, proprioception and language interact in shaping spatial concepts throughout development (Gasser and Colunga Leal, 1997). Here we will concentrate mostly on the Where side of the visual system (Figure 1b) because that is where categorical spatial relations are formed (Kosslyn, 1994) Touch Abstract Spatial Proprioception Vision Language Movement nouns terms relation Concrete Concepts Buffer Visual Categories ....
