Answer 3

Hopes to explain intellectual abilities using ANNs

Question 4

What are the two types of networks?

Answer 4

Question 5

What is parallel constraint satisfaction?

Answer 5

• choosing between two options

- e.g. making schedule: you cannot be in two courses at same time

Question 6

Evaluation criteria f. logic based models

Answer 6

• Representational power
