Although neural network models have had a dramatic impact on the cognitive and brain sciences, social psychology has remained largely unaffected by this intellectual explosion. Bringing these various approaches together in one place, this text allows readers to appreciate the breadth of these approaches, as well as the theoretical commonality of many of these models. The contributors address a number of central issues in social psychology and show how these kinds of models provide insight into many classic issues. Each chapter discusses an explicit connectionist model of a central problem in social psychology. Since many of the contributors either use a standard architecture or provide a computer programme, interested readers, with a little work, should be able to implement their own variations of models. Chapters are devoted to the following topics and models: the learning and application of social categories and stereotypes; causal reasoning, social explanation and person perception; personality and social behaviour; classic dissonance phenomena; and belief change and the coherence of large scale belief systems.
