Beyond Modularity

Question 1

Karmiloff-Smith 1998

Answer 1

Neuroconstructivism are domain-general principles with input/output and hidden units that allow for distributed representations

Question 2

Plunkett + Marchman 1993

Answer 2

Using developmental connectionist model found U-shaped change, overgeneralisation

Question 3

Seidenberg + McClelland 1989

Answer 3

Add competitive response selection to estimate response times. Effects for high/low frequency stimulus. Shows the model “thinking”

Question 4

Munakata + McClelland 2003

Answer 4

Position of the item in the learning set matters. Entrenchment: strong connections difficult to unlearn, weak connections die off, network learns what to ignore

Question 5

Connectionism/Neurocontructivism allows for domain-general principles to explain development. Input/output units with hidden units for distributed representations

Answer 5

Karmiloff-Smith 1998

Question 6

Connectionist model for development - U-shaped pattern. Demonstrates overgeneralisation

Answer 6

Plunkett + Marchman 1993

Question 7

Add competitive response selection - gives effect for high/low frequency stimuli. Shows the model “thinking”

Answer 7

Seidenberg + McClelland 1989

Question 8

Entrenchment: strong connections become hard to ignore, weak connections die off

Answer 8

Munakata + McClelland 2003
