Connectionist learning and education: applications and challenges. In D. McNamara & G. Trafton (Eds.), Proceedings of the Twenty-ninth Annual
Conference of the Cognitive Science Society (pp. 1497-1502).
Successful applications of connectionist learning to educational issues include word reading, single-digit multiplication, and prime-number detection. While closely modeling human learning, these applications underscore the importance of practice, feedback, prior knowledge, and well-structured lessons. Among the remaining simulation challenges in educational domains are other reading and arithmetic skills, learner-generated goals, social aspects of learning, and learning by direct instruction.
