Abstract

Van Gelder has presented a position that he ties closely to a broad class of models known as dynamical models. One can support many of his broader claims about the importance of this class (as has been argued by connectionists for quite some time), but there are a number of unique characteristics of his brand of dynamicism. These characteristics engender difficulties for his view.
