联结主义是一种生物模型还是功能架构?

Connectionism:Biological Model or Functional Architecture?

一些联结主义者一直将联结主义模型与神经生物学之间的结构和加工相似性,作为其生物合理性的根据。但是这些生物合理性的说明是成问题的:一方面,加工相似性是高度简化的,并且加工相似性对于认知解释并不是充分和必要的;另一方面,联结主义中的一些主要功能及算法示例,目前还不能找到神经生物学基础。所以联结主义和经典主义一样,是一种与实现层面无关的认知功能描述。

Some connectionists always take similarity of structure and processing between connectionism and neurology as the basis of its biological rationality.But these explanations of biological rationality are problematic.On the one hand,the processing similarity is highly simplified,and is not sufficient and necessary for cognitive interpretation;On the other hand,some main functions and algorithm examples in connectionism cannot find the basis of neurology at present.So connectionism,like classicism,is a description of cognitive function that has nothing to do with the realization level.
