Abstract | We present a connectionist realization of parameterized schemas that can model high-level sensory-motor processes and be a candidate representation for implementing reactive behaviors. The connectionist realization involves a number of ideas including the use of focal-clusters and feedback loops to control a distributed process without a central controller and the expression and propagation of dynamic bindings via temporal synchrony. We employ a uniform mechanism for interaction between schemas, low-level somatosensory and proprioceptive processes, and high-level reasoning and memory processes. Our representation relates to work in connectionist models of rapid - reflexive - reasoning and also suggests solutions to several problems in language acquisition and understanding. |
