A logical relation expressed as 'It is false that p if and only if q,' meaning exactly one of p or q is true but not both
subsymbolic representations(Distinguished from symbolic representations in cognitive and computational modeling)
Computational representations that do not rely on discrete symbolic structures, used in biologically plausible models of language-related behavior
symbolic representations(Contrasted with imagistic representations in the context of language processing)
Mental representations that encode content through abstract symbols rather than sensory images; the form posited by representationalist and connectionist accounts of language content.
