Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement describes the connectionist approach to representing concepts, where a specific concept is represented by the activity of many units in a neural network. This contrasts with the semantic network approach (A) which involves nodes representing concepts connected by links representing relationships between concepts, and the hierarchical approach (B) which involves concepts organized in a tree-like structure. The spreading activation approach (C) involves the activation of nodes in a network through a process of spreading activation from an initial node or set of nodes.
