Individual connections in the CLA (and in the brain) are uni-directional *not* bi-directional. In the CLA, if A is regularly followed by B, directional connections will form originating from the cells representing A and going to the cells representing B.
When A occurs, B will be predicted but not vice-versa. Similarly, when B occurs, both C and D will be predicted. In your example, if C or D occurs, nothing will be predicted. --Subutai On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 4:54 PM, mariolakakis . <[email protected]>wrote: > Consider A --> B --> C and A --> B --> D > > According to how CLA forms connections, A is followed by B and B is > followed by C and D.
