Several connectionist models have been supplying non-classical explanations to the challenge of explaining systematicity, i.e.. structure sensitive processes, without merely being implementations of classical architectures. However, lately the challenge has been extended to include learning related issues. It has been claimed that when these issues are taken into account, only a restricted form of systematicity could be claimed by the connectionist models put forward so far. In this paper we investigate this issue further, and supply a model and results that satisfies even the revised challenge.
