All you are storing is a number that reflects then

Now I pertially agree with him, but I really think the
brain stores more than this.

I think you will find that behaviorists do not believe
the brain stores anything. It simply "changes" in
a way to make it behave differently next time. Or
something like that.

My interest stems from my interest in computers
and programming, not animals. Computers 'behave"
and this behavior can be studied from the outside.
The advantage is we also know what really causes
these behaviors, unlike the animal.
