Had to be a test subject, for the extra credit, to pass mine.....I thought
Rob simply meant that (for a behaviourist) there is a causal relationship
between stimulus and response - "variation" only so far as our understanding
is limited. Usng your computer analogy, so long as all the ones and zeros at
the bit/cellular level are known, the output/behavior could be predicted, by
an all-knowing behaviourist.
