Abstract

Many models in Artificial Neural Networks Systems seek inspiration from cognitive and biological mechanisms. Taking the opposite direction, this work conjectures on the cognitive plausibility of a propositional version of neural engine that finds proof by refutation using the Resolution Principle. We construct a parallel between the main characteristics of the computional system and several aspects of theories found in the psychology and neurocognitive literature. This way, the identification of an artificial neural explainer, already hypothesized by psychological and neurocognitive works, is of fundamental contribution to the development of the field of artificial cognition.
