Abstract
Connectionist modeling (aka neural network modeling, connectionism) is rapidly becoming a dominant descriptive & theoretical tool for the psycholinguist. Below is a brief introduction to some of the terms & concepts used in connectionist modeling. Connectionist models are no different than any other sorts of theories in cognitive science, they merely offer a new computational toolbox, or set of algorithmic constraints on models & theories of cognitive phenomena. In this paper I review many of the important components of connectionist models & introduce some of the strengths, pitfalls, & caveats that casual readers & serious modelers must be aware of. 6 Figures, 10 References.
