On the biological plausibility of grandmother cells: implications for neural network theories in psychology and neuroscience.
A fundamental claim associated with parallel distributed processing (PDP) theories of cognition is that knowledge is coded in a distributed manner in mind and brain. This approach rejects the claim that knowledge is coded in a localist fashion, with words, objects, and simple concepts (e.g. "dog"), that is, coded with their own dedicated representations. One of the putative advantages of this a...
متن کاملMore on grandmother cells and the biological implausibility of PDP models of cognition: a reply to Plaut and McClelland (2010) and Quian Quiroga and Kreiman (2010).
Replies to the comments by Plaut and McClelland and Quian Quiroga and Kreiman on the authors original article both challenged my characterization of localist and distributed representations. They also challenged the biological plausibility of grandmother cells on conceptual and empirical grounds. This reply addresses these issues in turn. The premise of my argument is that grandmother cells in ...
متن کاملLocating object knowledge in the brain : A critique of Bowers ’ ( 2009 ) attempt to revive the grandmother cell hypothesis
According to Bowers (2009), the finding that there are neurons with highly selective responses to familiar stimuli supports theories positing localist representations over approaches positing distributed representations (including PDP models). However, his conclusions derive from an overly narrow view of the range of possible distributed representations and of the role that PDP models can play ...

متن کاملHow many Neurons for your 'Grandmother' ? Three Arguments for 'Localised' Representations
In a recent article, Bowers (2009) argues that local representations are more consistent with neuro-biological data than distributed representations, as typically generated in Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) models. We present three reasons why localised neural representations are good candidates for supporting mental representations, as they provide a solution to the trade-off between co...
