Connectionism and LOT

Connectionism and Modularity
Connectionist networks can do simple, small tasks.
In more complicated tasks, they are overwhelmed by the
complexity (because the connections increase
exponentially).
Mind must be organized into simple units, connected up in
an efficient way.
“Connectoplasm”: the mind an unorganized mess of
connections. Not a viable idea.
Mental modules: some connections preset, others learned.
A way to contain the complexity (maybe even recursively:
modules of modules).
