Hi netters, I am writing a term paper on the learning nature of connectionist networks. This is for a graduate Psychology class "Human Learning". So I am trying to talk about connectionist network learning in terms of behaviorist (Pavlovian conditioning, Skinner's rules etc.) and cognitive (Hebb's rules etc.) philosophies. The emphasis is on a balance between the Psychological implications of connectionist learning as a model of human learning and the AI implications as a general model for learning. I am wondering if somebody could point out to literature ( I will be glad to receive any on-line articles/papers you have ) related to this. Does anybody know of any attempts to relate connectionism to Piaget's schemas and learning by assimilation and accommodation? If you have a paper/reference please indicate if you can mail it by US mail (I'll cover the mailing costs). Thank you, Krishna Nareddy University of Minnesota - Duluth
