Parallel Distributed Processing

Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition: Foundations

Book • 1987

David E. Rumelhart

James L. McClelland

Geoffrey Hinton

This book introduces the theory of parallel distributed processing, which posits that mental processes occur through interactions in a neural network.

It challenges traditional symbolic computation models by suggesting that knowledge is stored in connections between units rather than localized structures.

The volume lays the groundwork for understanding cognition through distributed representations and parallel processing.
