Abstract :	[en] Distributed connectionists models of reasoning must solve the problem of multiple instantiation for two reasons. First, reasoning can involve two or more instantiations of the same predicate or object. Second, in a distributed representation, two closely related concepts must share common resources or nodes. Reasoning with these two concepts requires that nodes pertaining to them be instantiated twice. This paper presents a model (INFERNET) that uses temporal synchrony variable binding. It proposes a particular solution to the problem of multiple instantiation that involves the use of different oscillation frequencies. This solution implies some predictions. These predictions are tested on human participants, and the results are presented here. They confirm model predictions.
