Dr. Jim Moore\\xa0returns to Behavioral Observations in this session. And I\'m so thankful he had the time to chat, because this episode is jam-packed with great information for practitioners at all experience levels.
We spent a few minutes catching the audience up on some of the changes in Jim\'s life since his last appearance on the show. In particular, we discuss his new job as Chief Clinical Officer of\\xa0Apollo Behavior\\xa0and his move to the Atlanta area.
Afterwards, we managed to touch on several important issues in clinical practice, including the following:
We also recorded about 20 or so minutes of bonus content, which is available to Patreon subscribers (check out\\xa0this link\\xa0to learn more). In this segment of the show, Jim went into some detail regarding his ups and downs with his health and fitness, and how he\'s trying to get back on track, what it\'s like to be a Saints fan in the Atlanta Metro area, the parallels between good coaching and good leadership, and lots more.
Lastly, Jim was too gracious to shamelessly plug his practice group, but if the type of practice he describes interests you, hit him up on\\xa0LinkedIn, or elsewhere on social media, as he\'s pretty easy to find.
Here are links to some resources we discussed:

The differences between applied and basic research are not differences between that which \\u201cdiscovers\\u201d and that which merely \\u201capplies.\\u201d Both endeavors ask what controls the behavior under study

Quote #2:
An\\xa0applied\\xa0behavior analysis will make obvious the importance of the behavior changed, its quantitative characteristics, the experimental manipulations which analyze with clarity what was responsible for the change, the technologically exact description of all procedures contributing to that change, the effectiveness of those procedures in making sufficient change for value, and generality of that change

Quote #3:
Applied research is designed to solve\\xa0practical problems\\xa0of the modern world, rather than to acquire knowledge for knowledge\\u2019s sake. One might say that the goal of the applied scientist is to\\xa0improve the human condition.
