In connectionist networks, the strength of a given connection is increased when:
A) hidden units adjust connection weights
B) back-propagation alters output
C) baseline levels of activity are reinstated
D) a connection between two units is repeatedly activated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In connectionist networks, the strength of a given connection is increased through a process called Hebbian learning, which occurs when a connection between two units is repeatedly activated. This strengthens the connection, leading to improved performance in the network. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer.
