Издательство MIT Press, 1999, -619 pp.The chapters in this volume continue the explorations of parallel distributed processing that we began in Volume I. The accompanying table lays out the organization of both volumes. Part IV, which begins this volume, presents parallel distributed processing (PDP) models of psychological processes, and Part V explores the biological mechanisms of parallel distributed processing in the brain. Part VI provides a brief retrospective discussion of the whole book and our thoughts about future directions.
The various parts of this book are interrelated, but they can generally be read in any order, and indeed most of the chapters can be understood without reference to the rest of the book. However, readers may find it useful to read some of the chapters in Part I before delving into the specific topics covered in the chapters of Parts IV and V. A discussion of the contents of each chapter and the background that is relevant to, it may be found in the introductory section at the beginning of each part of the book.Volume 1 Foundations (/file/1781043/)
