Abstract

It is argued that connectionist models (neural nets, parallel distributed processing systems) have a great potential for changing our perspectives on animal behaviour. The approach is more structure-oriented than the conventional explanation by analogy. The method is used to analyze the principles of organization underlying oviposition decisions of parasitic wasps.
