This page contains publications on connectionism that do not address the relationship to analogy, case-based reasoning, metaphor or mental states.

To get to the publications that do address those areas, please go via THIS LINK into my home page.

Please email me (J.A.Barnden@cs.bham.ac.uk) to request a paper or further information.

The papers emanate from research that was in part supported by grants from AFOSR, NSF and NASA.
