Models are important tools in psychology used to generate
predictions to test the validity of theories. "Minds and Machines:
Connectionism and Psychological Modeling" examines three different
kinds of models (models of data, mathematical models, and computer
simulations) and discusses a synthetic approach to modeling.
Connectionist models are introduced as tools that are both
synthetic and representational and that can be used as the basis
for conducting synthetic psychology. The book investigates some of
the basic properties of connectionism in the context of synthetic
psychology, including detailed accounts of how the internal
structure of connectionist networks can be interpreted.
A website of supplementary material is available at
www.bcp.psych.ualberta.ca/~mike/Book2/ and includes free software
for conducting the connectionist simulations described in the book
as well as instructions for building simple robots to illustrate
some of the principles of the synthetic approach.
