Connectionist networks are modeled after neural networks in the nervous system and incorporate all of the following features of the nervous system EXCEPT
A) excitatory and inhibitory connections.
B) strength of firing patterns determined by the number and type (excitatory/inhibitory) of inputs.
C) concepts represented by activity in individual nodes.
D) distributed coding.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connectionist networks do incorporate excitatory and inhibitory connections, strength of firing patterns determined by inputs, and distributed coding. However, they do not necessarily represent specific concepts with individual nodes in the same way the nervous system does.
