- skybrian 8y agoNo, it's not the same. Behaviorism claimed that internal states like thoughts and feelings don't really exist. I'm saying that whatever they are, they must cause the external behaviors we associate with consciousness. (And furthermore, the theory must explain things like the effects of brain damage, surgery, the effects of drugs, hormones, how children's minds develop, evolution, and so on.) These are just the requirements for any scientific model of how minds work.
- modzu 8y agoah ok, yes i agree
