Hi Neil:
I'll dig that article up. This would address some of the "connectionist
outliers" that Fodor mentioned at the beginning of section 3.2, right?
Thanks!

If you have access to a suitable library, you might want to take a look
at: Fodor and Pylyshyn, "Connectionism and Cognitive Architecture: A
Critical Analysis", Cognition 28 (1988), pp. 3-71.
That paper uses a similar argument to "refute" connectionism.

Neil
