SNARC (Stochastic Neural Analog Reinforcement Calculator) is a neural net machine designed by Marvin Lee Minsky.[1] It is a randomly connected network of Hebb synapses.

It was implemented by Minsky while he was a student, in hardware using vacuum tubes, and was possibly the first artificial self-learning machine. Template:CyberneticZoo1053

In cognitive science SNARC also stands for 'spatial-numerical association of response codes' and refers to the effect where people react faster with their left hand for small numbers, and faster with their right hand for bigger numbers, suggesting that number concepts are partly mapped out in space[2]
