architecture comparisons

[David Klahr]

There is a chapter in Shrager, Langley Klahr on the geneology of today's
production systems, that you might find interesting, and I did a chapter with
Brian MacWhinney that compares, from a cognitive development viewpoint,
production systems and connectionist systems.  Both of these are cast at a
pretty general level, and do not get into anything nitty gritty.
