• Introduces connectionist models as tools that are both synthetic and representational and which can be used as the basis for conducting synthetic psychology.
• Includes distinctively varied account of modeling, historical overview of the synthetic approach, and unique perspectives on connectionism.
• Investigates basic properties of connectionism in the context of synthetic psychology, including detailed accounts of how the internal structure can be interpreted.
• Provides supplementary material online at www.bcp.psych.ualberta.ca/ mike/Book2/ which includes free software for conducting connectionist simulations and instructions for building simple robots.
