Document Summary
Random selection: all members of a population under study have an equal chance of being chosen for study. Random assignment: all members are randomly placed into each condition. Number of stages, how information is transmitted. Discrete - all at once, continuous - as it becomes available. Store information in discrete places type of information stored, length of storage, how information goes in and out. Stages are sequential: contradiction: some things can be done in parallel. Stages are independent: what about context effects. Units work in parallel and do simple things. Simple units are either off or on. Activity in one unit affect activity level of other connected units. Input units => hidden units -> output units. Each unit contributes a small, by itself meaningless part. Information emerges from the behavior of the whole set of units. Create connectionist net that models the behavior. A topic can be understood by studying it in different ways.
