Question

I have a model, and when I do model.attributes.model I see the attributes of the model. One attribute is name, so model.attributes.model.name returns the right name. However, when I do model.get('name') I get the default that I had set in the model.

How do I set all the attributes of the model so that it works with get?

JSON used to build the model

[{
    "model":{
            "name":"My name",
            "description":
            "Description goes here!",
            "vote_score":null
    },
    "context":{}
}]

Either modify your server-side code to return an array of model attributes, as you said in the comments, or modify your model definition to override the parse method :

var MyModel=Backbone.Model.extend({
   parse: function(data) {
      return data.model;
   }
});
