Why are some things harder to remember than others? Based on recent brain research and neural network modeling, The Brain-Shaped Mind addresses these and other questions, and provides a clear account of how the structure of the brain influences the workings ofthe mind. Neuroscientists are now learning about our minds by examining how the neurons in the brain are connected with one another and the surrounding environment. This book exploreshow neural networks enable us to recognize objects and learn new things, and what happens when things go wrong. The reader is taken on a fascinating journey into what is arguably one of the most complicated and remarkable aspects of our lives.  \nBorn in New York, Naomi Goldblum originally studied mathematics at Yeshiva University. She later moved to Israel where, at the Hebrew University, she extended her interests to the field of psychology. Her doctorate was entitled “A psycholinguistic study of metaphor.” Naomi Goldblum is now a lecturer in psychology at Bar-Ilan University, where she specializes in cognitive psychology, in particular psycholinguistics and the processes involved in creative endeavors.  \nThe Brain-Shaped Mind  \nWhat the Brain Can TellUs about the Mind  \nNaomi Goldblum  \nIllustrated by  \nShifra Glick  \n􀀁􀀂􀀃􀀄􀀅􀀆􀀇􀀈􀀉 􀀃􀀋 􀀌􀀇􀀈 􀀁􀀍􀀈􀀆􀀆 􀀆􀀋􀀎􀀉􀀅􀀏􀀐􀀌􀀈 􀀑􀀒 􀀌􀀇􀀈 􀀂􀀎􀀅􀀓􀀈􀀍􀀆􀀅􀀌􀀋 􀀑􀀒 􀀏􀀐􀀔􀀃􀀍􀀅􀀉􀀕􀀈 The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom  \n􀀏􀀐􀀔􀀃􀀍􀀅􀀉􀀕􀀈 􀀂􀀎􀀅􀀓􀀈􀀍􀀆􀀅􀀌􀀋 􀀁􀀍􀀈􀀆􀀆  \nThe Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK  \n40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA  \n477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Ruiz de Alarcón 13, 28014 Madrid, Spain  \nDock House, The Waterfront, Cape Town 8001, South Africa [http://www.cambridge.org](http://www.cambridge.org)  \n© Naomi Goldblum 2004  \nFirst published in printed format 2001  \nISBN 0-511-01765-0 eBook (netLibrary) ISBN 0-521-56104-3 hardback  \nISBN 0-521-00094-7 paperback  \nContents  \nPreface vi  \nFigure permissions and acknowledgments viii  \n1 Introduction 1  \n2 What the brain cannot tell us about the mind 12  \n3 How neurons form networks 21  \n4 Theories and models of how the mind functions 30  \n5 What are connectionist networks? 40  \n6 How our networks learn 54  \n7 Connecting the networks: how different things are related 66  \n8 Evidence for connectionist models 75  \n9 Two different types ofmemory 87  \n10 Coping with disaster 95  \n11 Practical implications 108  \n12 Criticism of connectionist theory 116  \nAnnotated references and suggested readings 129  \nIndex 135  \nPreface  \nI first heard of connectionism in 1982, when I began studying cognitive psychology. I had read Edward deBono’s pioneering work, The Mechanism of Mind, twenty years earlier, and I had found it fascinating, but at that time the term “connectionism” had not yet been invented. When I learned about semantic networks, in which concepts were represented as points connected by links of various sorts, it seemed to me that concepts were much too rich to be described as mere points. Instead, I imagined them as long tangled threads meandering around in several dimensions, and I imagined the links between the concepts as the points where these threads met.  \nWhen I described this image to my cognitive psychology professor, Benny Shanon, he said,“That’s the new theory everyone is talking about—it’s called connectionism.” He had just ordered the brand-new book on the topic, Hinton and Anderson’s collection of papers, Parallel Models of Associative Memory, and was waiting for it to arrive. When the book came we spent a lot of time arguing over who should get to read it first. Each of us would take it home for a week or two and try to read a few pages, then give it to the other for the next week or two.
