Elemental representation and configural mappings: combining elemental and configural theories of associative learning.
In this article, we present our first attempt at combining an elemental theory designed to model representation development in an associative system (based on McLaren, Kaye, & Mackintosh, 1989) with a configural theory that models associative learning and memory (McLaren, 1993). After considering the possible advantages of such a combination (and some possible pitfalls), we offer a hybrid model...
متن کاملEvaluation and development of a connectionist theory of configural learning.
A configural theory of associative learning is described that is based on the assumption that conditioning results in associations between the unconditioned stimulus and a representation of the entire pattern of stimulation that was present prior to its delivery. Configural theory was formulated originally to account for generalization and discrimination in Pavlovian conditioning. The first par...

متن کاملToward a Unified Model of Attention in Associative Learning
Two connectionist models of attention in associative learning, previously used to model human category learning, are shown to have special cases that are essentially equivalent to N. J. Mackintosh's (1975, Psychological Review, 82, 276 298) classic model of attention in animal learning. The models unify formulas for associative weight change with formulas for attentional change, under a common ...
متن کاملInformation Theory and Associative Word Learning
Information theory has its roots in optimizing communication in the limited domain of a networks. However, over the years, it has been seen to have a wide range of applicability in areas like linguistics, artificial intelligence and cognitive science. ([?],[?]) More recently work has examined the application of information theory to finding episode boundaries in unsegmented time series [P. Cohe...
