X Abstract

ALCOVE (attention learning covering map) is a connectionist model of category learning that incorporates an exemplar-based representation (D. L. Medin and M. M. Schaffer, 1978; R. M. Nosofsky, 1986) with error-driven learning (M. A. Gluck and G. H. Bower, 1988; D. E. Rumelhart et al, 1986). ALCOVE selectively attends to relevant stimulus dimensions, is sensitive to correlated dimensions, can account for a form of base-rate neglect, does not suffer catastrophic forgetting, and can exhibit 3-stage (U-shaped) learning of high-frequency exceptions to rules, whereas such effects are not easily accounted for by models using other combinations of representation and learning method.
