En este sentido, la concepcion estructuralista de la ciencia encontraria algunas de sus mas serias limitaciones.

Estudios recientes sugieren que el sistema de neuronas espejo contribuye también a procesar información emocional, pero niegan que la amígdala, región por excelencia responsable de procesar cierto tipo de emociones, sea parte de tal sistema. Parece ser que el sistema de neuronas espejo se reorganiza funcionalmente para compensar daños en la amígdala en algunos pacientes.

(1988) reported that readers generated elaborative inferences only when a text contained characteristics (a strong biasing context or a demand sentence) that made it easy to predict the specific inference that a reader would draw, and virtually eliminated the possibility of the inference being discon-firmed. Garrod et al. (1990), however, offered two qualifications to these conclusions. First, the two text characteristics manipulated may have produced different types of elaborative inferencing: a biasing context results in a passive form of elaborative inferencing, involving setting up a context of interpretation, whereas the presence of a demand sentence invites the reader to actively predict a subsequent expression. Secondly, clear evidence for either type of inference will be apparent only with truly anaphoric materials. This work describes how a passive form of elaborative inferencing, reported by Garrod et al, may be implemented in a connectionist manner. We ...

Philosophical accounts differ about the locus of those intertheory relations. In this paper, four different views are analyzed: classical, connectionist, pragmatist, and reductionist, as exemplified in the works of von Eckardt, Horgan and Tienson, Hardcastle, and Bickle, respectively. Their divergences are characterized in terms of the possibility of such a privileged level. The classical view favors a privileged computational level. The connectionist revision tries to draw biological intuitions into computational models to provide a link between neuronsand computations. The pragmatist approach rejects the idea of a privileged level and offers a more eclectic view of cognitive theory building. The reductionist account pursues theoretical unification by means of the reduction of higher level theories to basic level (biological) ...

Shastri & Ajjanagadde (1993), proposed a local connectionist model for the sort of reasoning requiring such a fast inference. The problem with this system is that it controls only the adequacy of argumentfillers, leaving untouched the activation control issue, namely, why we perform certain inferences, and not others, in a given situation. The aim of this paper is to examine how a focus, in the sense of Grosz (1981). could operate as a theoretic constraint with the above reasoner system to handle two aspects: inference control and anaphora resolution (i.e., antecedent activation), during text understanding.

But, minimalism has mischaracterized text understanding, failing to notice that the extent to which an inferential activity is relevant (in focus) affects the speed and easiness of performing inferences, as it happens with anaphora resolution. Although a theory of discourse processing should be both constructionist and minimalist, we discuss the relationship between a computational theory of inference making and a description of the mechanisms underlying our inferential abilities.

Estos modelos son capaces de solucionar algunas de las limitaciones de los sistemas clásicos. En concreto, los sistemas clásicos son incapaces de controlar cuándo se necesita activar un chunk de conocimiento y qué parte de tal chunk ha de estar más activada. En cambio, los sistemas conexionistas pueden utilizar grados de activación para tratar este caso. Sin embargo, estos modelos también tienen alguna limitación como modelos de la mente humana. Finalmente, se analiza la plausibilidad de los enfoques híbridos. Palabras clave: Conexionismo, Esquemas, Representación del conocimiento, Procesamienmto de discurso Title: Connectionist representation and discourse processing. Abstract: Trying to simulate human discourse processing, connectionism has developed several approaches in order to represent frames and scripts. These models are able to go far beyond of some of the shortcomings of classical systems. Specifically, classical systems are unable to control when a chunk of knowledge has to be activated, and with the issue of what part of the chunk should be more activated. Instead, connectionist systems admit to use activation degrees for dealing with this issue. However, connectionist models have also some limitations if considered as models of human mind. Finally, the plausibility of hybrid approaches is analysed.
