联结主义范式提供了最初的假设，这些假设形成了这项工作的基础，即根据自主加工元素的大型网络来表征大脑的机制。这项工作的具体方面包括人类认知模型、连接主义人工智能和交错方式的连接主义学习算法。这项工作特别关注注意力，这将在知觉和更高水平的认知中进行研究。

The connectionist paradigm provides the initial assumptions which form the basis of this work on characterizing mechanisms of the mind in terms of large networks of autonomous processing elements. Specific aspects of this work include models of human cognition, connectionist AI, and connectionist lerning algorithms in an interleaved fashion. This work focuses specifically on attention which will be studied in perception and also in higher levels of cognition.
