Localist representations and theoretical clarity
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (4):474-475 (2000)
| Abstract | In the Localist Manifesto, Page enumerated several computational advantages that localist representations have over distributed representations, but the most important difference between such networks concerns their theoretical clarity. Distributed representations are normally closed to theoretical interpretation and, for that reason, contribute little to psychology, whereas the meaning of the information processing in networks using localist representations can be transparent. | |||||||||
