This article first introduces neural networks and their characteristics. Based on a comparison of the structure and function of biological neurons and artificial neurons, it focuses on the structure, classification, activation rules, and learning rules of neural network models. Based on the existing literature, this article adds a distributed time lag term of the neural network system. In the actual problem, history has a very important influence on the current change situation, and it is not only at a specific time in the past. It has an impact on the current state change rate. Therefore, based on the existing literature that only has discrete time lags, this paper adds distributed time lags. Such neural network systems can better reflect real-world problems. In this paper, we use three different inequality scaling methods to study the existence, uniqueness, and global asymptotic stability of a class of neural network systems with mixed delays and uncertain parameters. First, using the principle of homeomorphism, a new upper-norm norm is introduced for the correlation matrix of the neural network, and enough conditions for the existence of unique equilibrium points in several neural network systems are given. Under these conditions, the appropriate Lyapunov is used. Krasovskii functional, we prove that the equilibrium point of the neural network system is globally robust and stable. Numerical experiments show that the stability conditions of the neural network system we obtained are feasible, and the conservativeness of the stability conditions of the neural network system is reduced. Finally, some applications and problems of neural network models in psychology are briefly discussed.

The broad sense of modern cognitivism (information processing) psychology mainly includes two research paradigms or theories: one is physical symbolism represented by Simon and Newell and others; the other is neurocognitions represented by Rinehart and McClelland and others. After a period of silence, the study of connectionist psychology has shown a booming trend since the 1980s. It is based on neuroscience, based on philosophy and mathematical theory, and integrates disciplines such as information science, artificial intelligence, and psychological science, forming a multi-level, cross-professional and fringe research field. In the past 20 years, modern connectionism has established many psychological models of speech acquisition, working memory, and semantic memory. The neural network model can perform complex pattern recognition and complete complex rules and tasks that cannot be determined in advance, thereby making up for the shortcomings of physical symbolism and information processing psychology in some aspects and having a huge impact on the development of psychology. This article attempts to draw on the theories and achievements of neural network models from multiple research orientations, to understand and examine the connectionist neural network model from the perspective of cognitive psychology, and to consider its significance and its value in psychological research. The essence of the scaling method is based on the four arithmetic operations of the original equality, and the use of the transferability of the inequality. Its advantage is that it can quickly reduce complexity to simplification, and make it easier to achieve more results with less effort. Scale down is difficult to grasp. In this chapter, we mainly introduce some commonly used stability definitions and theorems of neural networks used in this article. In the first section, the related definitions and stability conditions of delay differential equations are introduced. We already know that stability is a very important property of neural networks, so this has inspired many experts to study the stability of neural networks in more depth. According to previous studies, we have reached a lot of conclusions. In our later studies, these conclusions have played a great reference role.

Neural network is a model that simulates the human nervous system based on connectionist theory. It is a computer program with the ability to adapt, self-organize, and self-learn. The basic constituent units of a neural network are called nodes or units. The network system adjusts and changes the connection strength between neurons according to present rules, and implements adaptive, self-organizing, and self-learning in a parallel distributed processing (PDP) manner, thereby exhibiting wisdom like biological nervous systems. The process is shown in sub-figure a in Figure 2. Connectionism is the general term for the theoretical framework of parallel distributed knowledge representation and calculation of neural networks. It is the research theory of neural networks and their characteristics and construction of mental models. It is also called “neural computing” or “parallel distributed processing”. Semiotic-oriented cognitive psychology adopts the logical rules of explicit hierarchical arrangement to manipulate and process symbols in a serial manner, which is often called information processing psychology. Connectionist-oriented cognitive psychology is based on neurophysiology, integrates the cognitive functions and characteristics of the human brain, uses digital features instead of logical rules to transform information, and processes subsymbols in parallel. It is also an information processing theory in a broad sense. The process is shown in sub-figure b in Figure 2.

The connectionist mental model is based on neuroscience to simulate the human nervous system. It is more neurologically reasonable than the semiotic model. Simple units are linked together to have complex behaviours and abilities, and to a certain extent can work like the human brain. The simplification of the unit organization has produced many interesting characteristics, such as showing “content address” type memory, fuzzy or partial stimulus can extract memory traces in the entire network, etc. If a part of the network is damaged, it will also decline like the human brain, and memory performance will gradually decline with the degree of damage, rather than a one-time collapse. Damage to any part of a traditional symbolic system usually results in a catastrophic crash. Neural network models are good at things, and people are good at them, such as complex pattern recognition and fuzzy guessing. The neural network can also automatically generate new examples in the example training, and then form prototypes from the examples.
Based on foreign research, Chinese psychologists have used the connectionist neural network model to make useful attempts in the study of Chinese cognition, and have achieved certain results. Chen Ying and Peng Yiling applied the idea of parallel distributed processing to the study of Chinese cognitive simulation, and adopted a distributed storage structure and parallel processing operation process, and proposed the “Chinese character recognition and naming connectionism model” (CMRP). The model is a three-layer feedforward network: the input layer is a glyph representation layer consisting of 420 units, the hidden unit layer uses 200 units to realize the non-linear mapping conversion from glyphs to phonetic sounds, and the output layer is composed of 42 units Layer of characterization. Zhang Dongsong, Chen Yongming and Yu Bailinian proposed a neural network model (CRAM) for sentence lattice role assignment. The model uses a vocabulary distribution characterization input layer, two hidden cell layers and a lattice role output layer. The back-propagation algorithm is used. After adjusting the connection weights between the layers of the network, after 108 sentences of training, it achieved an accuracy of 87%, as shown sub-figure a in Figure 3. Ming Hong and Zhang Houzheng proposed a loose rule hybrid computing model (RPHM) for Chinese sentence reading. This model is a hybrid structural network combining parallel distributed processing and symbolism paradigm. It uses distributed and symbolic representations to coexist, and dynamic multi-source parallel interaction processing the mechanism is computerized in stages. The network establishes the information organization structure of each part of the system in the form of hierarchical representation, and constructs different types of interaction mechanisms between the various parts. The above models are some useful explorations made by Chinese psychologists in applying neural network models to Chinese cognitive research. The process is shown in sub-figure b in Figure 3.

Until now, there are many technical limitations in the construction of neural network models. First, a network with a small number of units can work well when dealing with small problems, but it runs when it encounters large problems that require hundreds of units to solve. Difficulties and errors, which are called “scaling problems”, are the fundamental limitation of neural networks. Similar problems also exist in the semiotic model. For example, an expert system works well in a small domain with limited rules, and fails when the domain is expanded and there are too many rules. Second, the network often requires a lot of training to complete a certain task, unlike the human brain, which can be learned after one or two trainings, which limits its application. Third, without a lot of guidance, the quality of the network’s work will be poor. The designer must carefully design the network parameters and make a lot of adjustments during the network operation. Even if the input stimulus is a specially prepared vector rather than many external stimuli processed by humans, most networks still need mentors and cannot achieve unsupervised self-organized learning.
Many researchers have criticized the value of neural network models as mental models. With the development of brain neuroscience, we have a deeper understanding of the structure and function of neurons. Biological neurons are not a simple biostable logic operation unit, but a super miniature biological information processing device. The brain is a giant super parallel neural network. The artificial neural network model does not work exactly like the brain, and its simulation of psychological phenomena and processes also has some problems:
Firstly, although the network model has some similarities with the neural network of the brain, it does not really have a rationality in a neurological sense. The real neuron is much more complicated. Its working state is not just inhibition and excitement, it also has many connection modes. Biological neurons can have more than 100,000 connections, but the network model is only connected to neurons in adjacent layers. The network model is not the same as the human brain in almost every respect.
Secondly, neural network learning is not the same as human learning. Although the Internet often makes mistakes made by people, it also often makes mistakes that humans do not make. People can often learn easily at one time, and can easily learn by adding and extending existing knowledge through migration and analogies, but neural networks cannot yet achieve knowledge transfer and analogy. The brain is a highly complex biological system that integrates a variety of dynamic special-purpose components. It is not as simple as interconnected with neural network models. Advanced cognitive activities are not easy to simulate through the web, and a symbolic rule system must be used. Ling and Marinow compared many well-known language learning networks with symbolic programs. After analysing the performance of all programs, it was found that neural network models cannot learn past-style English verbs, and programs that use regular methods do better.
Thirdly, the neural network model often only provides a special case of demonstration, it successfully completes some cognitive functions, but this does not mean that it is done in the way of the human brain, only that it can be done. It’s like the relationship between science and engineering. Engineering establishes a working system, and science tries to discover how existing systems work. The above criticism may be too harsh on a scientific field that is being developed and improved, but this is exactly the problem that connectionism will gradually solve. After a detailed analysis of the connectionist theoretical framework, Smolinsky pointed out that whether neural network models can complete advanced cognitive tasks and whether they can correctly simulate the brain remains to be scientifically tested, but neural networks can indeed be used between neural and cognitive Analysis of sub-symbol levels. In addition, further research is needed on the division of labour in cognitive research between neuroscience, connectionism, and semiotics. Under the theoretical framework of cognitive neuroscience, the combination of connectionist neural networks or neural computing and brain imaging will make a huge contribution to modern psychological science.
Neural networks are derived from researchers’ simulations of the computational capabilities of real neuron networks. During the development process, they gradually showed powerful cognitive functions such as learning, memory, and association. From the perspective of simulating real experiments, “the uncertainty factors in other methods can be solved here in the neural network model”; from the perspective of exploring the internal mechanism of the cognitive process, the parallel distributed processing method of the neural network It is as efficient and anti-interference as neuron’s information transmission, so it may be closer to the essence of cognition.
