What Does Connectionism Mean?
Connectionism is a particular philosophy applied to artificial intelligence and other technology advances; it perceives the human mind as being linked to complex interconnected networks. Many attribute the term to Donald Hebbs, a data scientist active in the 1940s.
Techopedia Explains Connectionism
Connectionism asserts that very complex behavioral and mental activity can be explained by analyzing the complex interplay of simple units, as a primary example, neurons in the brain. In the 1940s, Hebbs suggested through research that human learning essentially consists of strengthening connections between certain sets of neurons.
