Connectionism is a theory of mind that involves neuronal networks in the brain working together to support cognition. It can be applied to fields like artificial intelligence and neuroscience. Connectionist ideas date back to Aristotle but have evolved with technology. New connectionist theory recognizes the multiple inputs and outputs of individual neurons. The brain's organization parallels attempts to imitate life in artificial intelligence. Connectionism informs models of language processing and acquisition that influence clinical practice in speech and language therapy.

- 2. Connectionism Defined • A theory of mind; or information processing, which involves functional and analog components of neurons and neuronal networks working together in the brain to support all types of intelligences and the identification of deficits. • Connectionism can be generalized to apply to the fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. Wiki definition 77 subcategories for theories of mind
- 3. Connectionism’s History….. • Connectionist ideas about mental associations can be traced back to the Greek Philosopher Aristotle • Connectionist Theory was extended by British Empiricists and the founders of psychology, neuropsychologists, mathematicians, engineers and continues to evolve with technological resources.
- 4. Old and New Connectionist Theory • Connectionist Theory has evolved to include multiple pathways of communication between neurons that result in complicated logarithms • Old connectionist theory believed that one neuron produced one action potential and one output. • New connectionist theory recognizes the multiple input and output capacity of a single neuron in a neuronal network Alberta Canada Psychology Department
- 5. Functional Specialization and Functional Integration Organization of the Brain’s Neuronal Networks • The organization of the biological brain and the organization of artificial intelligences parallel one another in an attempt to imitate life for technological and biological advance in research and clinical application for pathology. • Functional Specialization refers to a neuronal network’s specialization in some aspects of cognitive, perceptual, or sensori-motor processing. • Functional Integration refers to a mediated union of several specialized areas to support one type of cognitive, perceptual or sensori-motor processing.

- 6. Psycholinguistics and the Trace Model • Trace is an example of a connectionist model that attempts to explain the brain’s pathway for receptive language processing • The model was transformed into a computer program and suggests where pathology may be compensated for by speech and language therapists
- 7. Clinical Applications • Connectionist models can be applied most readily in the areas of speech and language where therapies have evolved to include phonology, whole language, and memory learning applied integration as a basis for acquisition. • There are many resources attributing connectionism as a solid foundation for understanding the acquisition of receptive and expressive language skills. Connectionism related to Speech and Language Acquisition
