Exploring Cognition: Damaged Brains and Neural Networks : Readings in Cognitive Neuropsychology and Connectionist ModellingGillian Cohen, Robert Arthur Johnston, Kim Plunkett Exploring Cognition: Damaged Brains and Neural Networks analyses the contribution made by cognitive neuropsychology and connectionist modelling to theoretical explanations of cognitive processes. Bringing together evidence from both damaged brains and neural networks, this exciting and innovative approach leads to re-evaluation of traditional theories: connectionist models lesioned to mimic the residual function of the damaged brain and rehabilitated to simulate the process of recovery suggest underlying mechanisms and challenge previous interpretations. |
