[en] The connectionist model of reasoning presented here, INFERNET,
implements a working memory that is the activated part of long-term
memory. This is achieved by making use of temporal properties of the
node spikes. A particular solution of the problem of multiple
instantiation is proposed. This model makes predictions that have
been tested experimentally and the results of these experiments are
reported here. These results would seem to challenge modular models
of memory.
