{"pk":31732,"title":"A Connectionist Model of the Development of Seriation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Seriation is the ability to order a set of objects on\nsome dimension such as size. Psychological research\non the child's development of seriation has uncovered\nboth cognitive stages and perceptual constraints. A\ngenerative connectionist algorithm, cascade-\ncorrelation, is used to successfully model these\npsychological regularities. Previous rule-based models\nof seriation have been unable to capture either stage\nprogressions or perceptual effects. T h e present\nsimulations provide a number of insights about\npossible processing mechanisms for seriation, the\nnature of seriation stage transitions, and the\nopportunities provided by the environment for learning\nabout seriation.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3348r2zj","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Denis","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mareschal","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Oxford","department":""},{"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Shultz","name_suffix":"","institution":"McGill University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31732/galley/22800/download/"}]}
