<p>Parallel distributed processing is basically that we integrate a lot of material and then our memory responds by finding relevant information. Sorry, that was a bad explanation. For example, if you see a fin in the water, you don't think about every single thing it could possibly be, you match it with shark based on your previous example. How that helps.</p>
