A Brief History of Connectionism

I was exploring critical works on Herbert Simon. In domains like entrepreneurship Simon is rarely observed under critical lens. Prof Antony Chemero suggested literature about connectionist networks from the 1980s because the proponents often thought of themselves as demonstrating problems with Newell and Simon’s physical symbol system hypothesis.

I found the following work which is open access by David A. Medler; “A Brief History of Connectionism” Or this or this as alternative access.
