Abstract
Connectionist models can make substantive contributions
to our understanding of the mind in a variety of ways. Murre (1992)
provides no evidence that his model makes any of them. He and his
colleagues have clearly been busy, but the book is a report of
work-in-progress that is lacking in completeness and polish.
