Abstract
After spelling out the systematicity challenge to connectionism, I examine Paul Smolensky and Géraldine Legendre's attempt to meet the challenge by appeal to a kind of architecture that they label “an integrated connectionist/symbolic architecture.” I argue that although their response to the systematicity challenge is of considerable interest, it fails to meet the challenge.
