Connectionist models, in the context of psychology, refer to a computational approach to understanding human cognitive processes. This approach is based on the construction of artificial neural networks that mimic the neural structures and processes of the human brain. Connectionism attempts to model mental phenomena using networks of simple, interconnected units that work together to process information, learn, and make decisions. These models are used to simulate a wide range of cognitive functions, including perception, memory, language, and problem-solving.
Connectionist models refer to computer models that simulate aspects of development through repeated activation of associated nodes.
According to connectionist models, humans handle very large numbers of cognitive operations at once through a network distributed across incalculable numbers of locations in the brain.
