Locality, modularity, and computational
neural networks
There is a distinction between locality and modularity. These
two terms have often been used interchangeably in the target article
and commentary. Using this distinction we argue in favor of a
“weak” modularity. In addition we also argue that both
PDP-type networks and box-and-arrow models have their own strengths
and pitfalls.
