The Boolean function XOR cannot be represented by a single-layer network because it is not linearly
separable - correct answer ✔✔True
In a typical artificial neural network activation propagates backward - correct answer ✔✔False
Convolutional neural networks share the basic feature of traditional neural networks that every unit in a
given layer is connected to every unit in the next layer, where there is one (that is, they are fully
connected). - correct answer ✔✔false
Learning, in neural networks, consists in adjusting parameters (weights and biases) in response to
experience - correct answer ✔✔True
Artificial neural network units with the same inputs but different activation functions can have different
outputs - correct answer ✔✔true
Connectionists see themselves as providing an alternative to classical computation. - correct answer
✔✔true
Any Boolean function can be represented by a single-layer network - correct answer ✔✔false
ConvNets are characterized by sparse connectivity - correct answer ✔✔true
The Solar System is an example of a dynamical system - correct answer ✔✔true
, Dynamical systems theorists think that traditional cognitive scientists are mistaken in trying to reverse-
engineer the mind as an information-processing system - correct answer ✔✔true
According to Thelen & Smith's studies (as reported by Bermúdez, for example), the A-not-B error can be
made to disappear by changing the infant's posture - correct answer ✔✔true
Dynamical systems theorists think that the Turing machine is an appropriate model for understanding
cognition - correct answer ✔✔false
For Lakoff & Johnson metaphors are mainly literary devices used to embellish linguistic expression -
correct answer ✔✔false
According to the vertical view of faculty psychology, the mind is organized around the kinds of processes
it carries out - correct answer ✔✔false
Domain generality is a characteristic of cognitive modules - correct answer ✔✔false
According to Smith, one of the principles that characterize the language faculty is the principle of
structure-dependency - correct answer ✔✔true
According to Fodor, the central cognitive system is modular - correct answer ✔✔false
According to Fodor, central processing is holistic - correct answer ✔✔true
In Fodor's view, central processing is encapsulated - correct answer ✔✔false
According to evolutionary psychologists, some of the cognitive tendencies that we have now evolved to
suit the conditions in the environment of evolutionary adaptation, but are maladaptations for our
current environment - correct answer ✔✔true
According to Cosmides and Tooby, domain-general cognitive mechanisms could not have evolved
because there are no domain-general fitness criteria. - correct answer ✔✔true
