Many cognitive scientists believe that capabilities like language, perception, and memory are distributed over a large number of neurons operating in parallel, and that learning occurs through the adaptation of connections between these neurons. Using a Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) framework, researchers simulate neural networks at various levels of abstraction, visualize their activities, and perform statistical and mathematical analysis to gain further insights. While the PDP framework has opened new doors for cognitive scientists and researchers, students at all levels can have a difficult time understanding the operation of such networks.
