ABSTRACT
Neural networks, provide a basis for studying various
aspect of human learning and cognitive development in a
seemingly `psychologically plausible' manner. We present
a `hybrid' neural network architecture comprising two
Kohonen maps interrelated by Hebbian connections to
perform a neural network based simulation of the
development of a `concept memory', `word lexicon' and
`concept lexicalisation' in an unsupervised learning
