Detailed explanation-1: -Connectionism is a movement in cognitive science that hopes to explain intellectual abilities using artificial neural networks (also known as “neural networks” or “neural nets”).

Detailed explanation-2: -These three models are the Interactive Activation model of letter recognition (McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981; Rumelhart and McClelland, 1982), Rumelhart and McClelland’s model of the acquisition of the English past tense (1986), and Elman’s simple recurrent network for finding structure in time (1991).

Detailed explanation-3: -Connectionist models consist of a large number of simple processors, or units, with relatively simple input/output functions that resemble those of nerve cells. These units are connected to each other and some also to input or output structures, via a number of connections. These connections have different “weight”.
