A central issue in cognitive science is the nature of mental representations and how these might be represented in the brain. A highly influential approach to this problem is provided by neural network models. A distinguishing characteristic of all of these models is that they take neurobiological constraints into account, i.e. the question of how the brain provides the computational machinery that enables complex cognitive functions such as memory and language. One of the best known approaches is the connectionist modeling approach as described in the 1986 2-volume book Parallel Distributed Processing by James McClelland and David Rumelhart. To date, PDP and other connectionist models are probably the most influential computational approach in Cognitive Science. On June 27 2008, the Cognitive Science Center Amsterdam of the University of Amsterdam will organize a symposium in which a number of prominent European researchers will give presentations on their work within the general area of connectionist modeling. The symposium will an excellent overview of the current status of connectionist modeling.
