Sharing the work between attractors and the bottom-up pathway
				semantic space
		• Feed-forward nets prefer to produce similar outputs for similar inputs. – Attractors can be used to make life easy for the feed- forward pathway. • Damaging attractors can cause errors involving visually similar words. –  This explains why patients who make semantic errors always make some visual errors as well. – It also explains why errors that are both visually and semantically similar are particularly frequent.
