Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connectionist networks are also known as neural networks, and they are designed to model the way neurons in the brain process information. Therefore, the best choice is C. Elaborative vs. shallow processing is a concept in cognitive psychology, and the connections between short- and long-term memory are more related to traditional information processing models. Neither of these concepts specifically relate to connectionist networks.
