[en] This paper presents a connectionist model of human
reasoning that uses temporal relations between node
firing. Temporal synchrony is used for representing
variable binding and concepts. Temporal succession serves
to represent rules by linking antecedent to consequent
parts of the rule. The number of successive synchronies is
affected by two well-known neurobiological parameters,
the frequency of neural rythmic activity and the precision
of neural synchronization. Reasoning is predicted to be
constrained by these variables. An experiment
manipulating the amount of successive synchronies is
presented. Experimental results would seem to confirm the
predictions.
