Along the line of Tony's summary of work on distributed connectionist models,
here is my (possibly biased) summary of the state of the art of
localist connectionist symbolic processing work.

There have been a variety of work in developing LOCALIST connectionist
models for symbolic processing, as pointed out by postings of
Jerry Feldman and Shastri. The work spans a large spectrum of application
areas in AI and cognitive science. Although it has been discussed somewhat,
a more detailed list of work in this area include:

------------------------
REASONING (commonsense reasoning, logic reasoning, case-based reasoning,
reasoning based on schemas/frames)

L. Shastri and V. Ajjanagadde (1993).
