Suppose That at a Given Moment Units in Your Memory

question 49

Multiple Choice

Suppose that at a given moment units in your memory corresponding to the letters C, O, I, and N are moderately active, but not active enough for definite identification. According to a connectionist model, what would happen?

• A) The units would excite a higher-order unit corresponding to the word COIN, which would feed back to excite the individual letters.
• B) The units would excite a higher-order unit corresponding to the word COIN, which would feed back to inhibit the individual letters.
• C) The units would inhibit a higher-order unit corresponding to the word COIN.
• D) The higher-order unit corresponding to the word COIN would be unaffected until each of the four individual letters was positively identified.
