1. An examples of those is Connectionism and there are others. 2. In the mid-1980s, parallel distributed processing became popular under the name connectionism . 3. In recent years, this latter argument has been fortified by the theory of connectionism . 4. The former view uses connectionism to study the mind, whereas the latter emphasizes symbolic computations. 5. This movement led to the emerging discipline of computational modeling, connectionism , and computational intelligence. 6. The late 80s and 90s saw the rise of neural networks and connectionism as a research paradigm. 7. He has also written extensively on connectionism , robotics and the role and nature of mental representation. 8. He argued that understanding the mind would require integrating connectionism with classical ideas about symbol-manipulation. 9. If it does, then connectionism uses LOT . If it does not then it is empirically false. 10. McClelland is to a large extent responsible for the large increase in scientific interest for connectionism in the 1980s.
