ALCOVE: A Connectionist Model of Human Category Learning

Abstract

ALCOVE is a connectionist model of human category learning that fits a broad spectrum of human learning data. Its architecture is based on well(cid:173) established psychological theory, and is related to networks using radial basis functions. From the perspective of cognitive psychology, ALCOVE can be construed as a combination of exemplar-based representation and error(cid:173) driven learning. From the perspective of connectionism, it can be seen as incorporating constraints into back-propagation networks appropriate for modelling human learning.
