The Role of Neural Networks in Cognitive Science:
Evolution or Revolution?

Itiel E. Dror & Michael J. Young

Can the neural network approach produce a revolution within cognitive science and re-shape our basic conceptualization of cognition and mind?

However, this line of neural network research limits their possible role in cognitive science.
