In a Single-Layer Network Using a Discrete-Component Representation, Negative Patterning

question 109

Multiple Choice

In a single-layer network using a discrete-component representation, negative patterning:

• A) is represented by assigning a weight of 1 to one stimulus and a weight of 0 to the other.
• B) is represented by assigning a weight of 1 to both stimuli and a weight of 0 to their combination.
• C) is represented by assigning a weight of 1 to both stimuli and to their combination.
• D) cannot be represented in any way that would make the network respond correctly.

A theorem that describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event.

Conditional Probabilities

Probabilities of events given the occurrence of some other event.

Likelihood Probabilities

The probabilities that reflect the plausibility of different parameter values given the observed data, used in statistical inference.
