聯結主義粵拼lyun4 git3 zyu2 ji6英文connectionism)係喺廿世紀中後期興起嘅一種認知科學(cognitive science)觀點,主張心靈可以概念化想像成人工神經網絡(artificial neural network)模型[1][2]

一個有三層嘅簡單前饋人工神經網絡;每個圓圈代表一粒人工神經細胞,而箭咀表示箭咀後嗰粒細胞嘅 值會受箭咀前嗰粒細胞嘅 值影響。

人工神經網絡泛指模擬生物神經網絡(biological neural network)嘅數學模型:一隻(例如)靈長目動物閒閒地有斷百億計嘅神經細胞(neuron),一粒神經細胞喺俾化學物訊號刺激到嗰陣,會跟住以電或者化學物嚟傳新訊號,所以當一粒神經細胞射訊號嗰陣可以引起連鎖反應,將資訊喺成個神經網絡嗰度傳開去[3][4]。一個人工神經網絡由大量嘅人工神經細胞組成。喺用電腦程式整神經網絡嗰陣,研究者會每粒人工神經細胞同佢設返條類似噉嘅式[5][6]

喺呢條式當中, 代表嗰粒神經細胞嘅啟動程度, 代表其他神經細胞當中第 粒嘅啟動程度,而 就係其他神經細胞當中第 粒嘅權重(指嗰粒神經細胞有幾影響到 )。所以當一粒人工神經細胞啟動嗰陣,會帶起佢後面啲人工神經細胞跟住佢啟動-似十足生物神經網絡入面嗰啲神經細胞噉。假如個神經網絡嘅程式令佢能夠自行按經驗改變 嘅數值嘅話,佢就會曉學習[5][7]

截至廿一世紀初,聯結主義經已取得咗相當嘅成功:人工神經網絡建基於現實世界嘅心靈-人腦,所以具有結構上嘅可信性,而且人工神經網絡仲有遞迴神經網絡卷積神經網絡等多個變種;喺好多情況下,人工神經網絡都能夠俾到同現實觀察極之相近嘅輸入輸出關係;因為呢啲緣故,有唔少認知科學家認為,人工神經網絡可以攞嚟做心靈嘅模型,解釋心靈相關嘅現象[8]

紅色框框入面嘅係一個人 REM腦電活動:圖中顯示 REM 嗰時個人嘅腦有高頻嘅電活動。

廿一世紀初嘅研究顯示,人工神經網絡可以用嚟模擬瞓覺嘅現象:

  • 心理學界不嬲都有思考「瞓覺有乜用」(即係點解瞓覺呢種生理功能會通過進化嘅考驗留存到落嚟)嘅問題;根據廿一世紀初心理學界嘅假說人腦喺瞓覺啲神經細胞會喺冇外界刺激嘅情況下有相當程度嘅活動,造成各腦區有同步嘅電活動,而有心理學家神經科學家指,個腦會喺呢段時間「重播」之前嗰日學過嘅記憶以及相關嘅舊記憶,而呢個重播過程對於記憶嘅鞏固(consolidation)嚟講扮演重要嘅角色[9][10]
  • 另一方面,廿一世紀初嘅人工神經網絡研究上有所謂嘅災難型遺忘(catastrophic forgetting)現象,指啲人發現人工神經網絡成日會喺學新資訊嗰時突然完全唔記得嗮之前學過嘅資訊[11]

有人工神經網絡研究者就發現,模擬瞓覺嗰陣嗰啲認知過程演算法可以用嚟防止災難性遺忘嘅發生[12][13]
