-Connectionism,​ today defined as an approach in the fields of artificial intelligence,​ cognitive psychology, cognitive science and philosophy of mind which **models mental** or **behavioral phenomena** with **networks of simple units**(([[http://​www.wordiq.com/​definition/​Connectionism|wordiQ:​ Connectionism - Definition]])),​ is not a theory in frames of [[learning_paradigms:​behaviorism]],​ it **preceded** and **influenced behaviorist school**. Although ​it is today used in different contexts (mostly referring to neural networks and artificial neural networks that have not emerged until second half of the 20th century) it has origins ​dating as far back as Greek philosopher Aristotele, who claimed that memory is composed of simple elements connected in a variety of ways(([[http://​books.google.hr/​books?​id=u6j6HTS-rVQC&​pg=PA47&​dq=J.+A.+Anderson,​+A.+Pellionisz+and+Rosenfeld,​+E.+Neurocomputing+2&​hl=hr&​ei=G6drTezgJMO58gPTv-nyBw&​sa=X&​oi=book_result&​ct=result&​resnum=1&​ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#​v=onepage&​q&​f=false|J.
