HIGHER FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES DO NOT SOLVE CONNECTIONISM'S PROBLEMS
Reply to Goldsmith on Connectionist-Explanation

Abstract

Goldsmith (1998) argues that I (Green 1998a) am wrong in asserting that nodes and connections are the theoretical entities of connectionist theories. I reply that if he is right, then connectionist theory is not connectionist after all. I also comment briefly on Seidenberg's (1993) approach to the interpretation of connectionist research, and on the issue of the proper distinction to be drawn between theories and models.
