«Rethinking Innateness: A Connectionist Perspective on Development», cognitive science essay by Jeffrey L. Elman and others (MIT Press, paperback, 468 pp.).
The book explores what it means to say a behavior is innate and proposes a framework in which interactions between levels generate emergent behaviors. It classifies the innate according to constraints of representation, architecture and time, and explores developmental connectionism, a union of connectionist models and neurobiology.
