abstract = {In several fields there is a divide between formal and
associative models of concepts and reasoning. For example, in AI
associative models such as neural networks and evolutionary
computation are distinguished from symbolic, logic-based approaches.
In psychology, fuzzy or category-based approaches compete with the
"classical" theory of classification. In information science, systems
based on dynamic, emergent structures can be distinguished from
formal, manually designed structures. This paper argues that both
modes of representation, formal and associative ones, need to be
considered simultaneously for knowledge representation systems. This
paper investigates the relationship between formal and associative
structures and provides suggestions for bridging the gap between the
two modes of representation.},
