    "abstract": "modular connectionist network is described that learns \nthe German verb paradigm. The architecture of the network is in accordance with the rule-associative memory \nhypothesis proposed by Pinker (1991): it is composed \nof a connectionist short-term memory enabling it to process symbolic rules and an associative memory acting as \na lexicon. The network successfully learns the German \nverb paradigm and generalizes to novel verbs in ways \nthat correspond to empirical data. Lesioning the model \ngives further evidence for the rule-associative memory \nhypothesis: Whe n the lexicon is cut off, the network \nstrongly overgeneralizes the regular participle, indicating that regular forms are produced with the shortterm memory but irregular forms rely on the lexicon. \nHowever, in contrast to the rule-association theory, the \ntwo paths are not strongly dissociated, but both the \nshort-term memory and the lexicon work together in producing many participles. The success of the network \nmodel is seen as evidence that emergent linguistic rules \nneed not be implemented as rules in the brain.",
