N2  - This book, the first to apply neural network models to social phenomena, brings together various approaches by social psychologists to connectionist models, allowing readers to appreciate the breadth of these approaches, as well as the theoretical commonality of many of these models; In chapters dealing with the learning and application of categories and stereotypes, causal reasoning, social explanation, person perception, personality and social behavior, classic dissonance phenomena, belief change, and the coherence of large-scale belief systems, there will be something in this book for every social psychologist
