===Modeling in neural networks===

[[Artificial neural network]] models of cognition provide methods for integrating the results of empirical research about cognitive dissonance and attitudes into a single model that explains the formation of psychological attitudes and the mechanisms to change such attitudes.<ref name="read1997">{{cite journal | vauthors = Read SJ, Vanman EJ, Miller LC | title = Connectionism, parallel constraint satisfaction processes, and gestalt principles: (re) introducing cognitive dynamics to social psychology | journal = Personality and Social Psychology Review | volume = 1 | issue = 1 | pages = 26–53 | year = 1997 | pmid = 15647127 | doi = 10.1207/s15327957pspr0101_3 | s2cid = 23161930 }}</ref> Among the artificial neural-network models that predict how cognitive dissonance might influence a person's attitudes and behavior, are:
