In fact this sounds more like simple pattern recognition.
There was an interesting experiment where the American army used a neural network to examine pictures of American and Russian tanks. After training the network was able to identify all the tank pictures with 100% accuracy. But - when they then used the network to try and identify whether some previously unseen pictures contained an American or a Russian tank, the results were a complete failure. Eventually they discovered the reason ... all the American tank pictures were taken on a sunny day, and the Russian tanks pictures were taken on a cloudy day. The neural network had learned to identify the difference between sunny and cloudy!
