....distributed leads to functionally distributed representations for concepts which in turn leads to the postulation of micro features; yet the inadequacies of feature based theories of concepts are well known and, to our knowledge, micro feature theory has done nothing to address them. See Bolinger, 1965; J.D. Fodor, 1977) Or again, the idea that the strength of a connection between neurons is affected is by the frequency of their co activation gets projected onto the cognitive level. The consequence is a resurgence of statistical models of learning that had been widely acknowledged (both in ....

....NEGATIVE INSTANCES 46 ciple of one to one meaning to morpheme mapping also appears as the principle of contrast in [Clark, 1987] and the principle of uniqueness in [Pinker, 1989] these are thus also close relatives of Markman s principle of mutual exclusivity. Similar ideas can also be found in [Bolinger, 1965; Chomsky and Lasnik, 1977; MacWhinney, 1989] 4.3 Difficulties with Mutual Exclusivity For purposes of exposition, this chapter focuses on the learning of the eight English spatial terms listed below. Note that all eight are static, i.e. they do not involve motion. These correspond to the terms ....

....how. For example, to sell is to trade for money; to trade is to make a pair of transfers of possession in opposite directions each cancelling the debt created by the other; and so on. The practical question is which concepts should be treated as atomic, and which should be broken down further (cf. [24]) This is a recurrent issue in the design of programming languages, even the simplest ones. Consider for example the percent key on your pocket calculator. Taking a percentage is not an elementary mathematical operation, but it comes up so often in business arithmetic that it needs a button of ....
