Summary

Dr. Jim Moore returns in the third installment of the increasingly popular Apollo Case Study Series (which by the way, is also Session 192). 

In this episode, we cover quite a lot of ground, such as:

  • Jim and his team's practical approach for language intervention
  • How Jim encountered Relational Frame Theory by accident
  • How rigid language repertoires can contribute to problem behavior
  • How one does not need to be dogmatic as it relates to specific camps (i.e., Verbal Behavior vs. RFT; Isolated FA's vs. Synthesized ones, etc...)
  • The "heaviness" of Megadeath and Metallica 
  • Deriving or Bi-Directional Naming?
  • Multiple Exemplar Training
  • Is PEAK synonymous with RFT?
  • When Jim uses the VB-MAPP and/or the Essential for Living 
  • The Verbal Behavior Conference 
  • Apollo CSS 2, CSS 1 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

Welcome to the Behavioral Observations podcast, stimulating talk for today's behavior analysts.

0:15.3

Now here's your host, Matt Sequoria.

0:19.2

Dr. Jim Moore, how's it going?

0:21.3

It's great. How are you doing, Matt?

0:22.8

Good, good. This is our third round of the Apollo case study series.

0:28.0

And I just want to take a minute before we get into our topic here to just let you know that I have been getting a fair amount of feedback on the first two ones, especially

0:38.6

the last one of functional assessment.

0:39.9

That seemed to be something that really resonated with the audience.

0:43.6

So I just wanted to give you a quick shout out for that.

0:46.5

I went to the ABAI conference in Boston recently, and a lot of people quite unprompted came

0:53.1

up to me to tell me how much they like this concept of what we're doing.

0:58.7

And again, that episode in particular, they really enjoyed it.

1:03.0

So, yeah, so I just, again, want to share that.

1:06.6

I was just curious to see what feedback you might be getting on your end with regard to this kind of experiment we're conducting here, this media experiment.

1:18.6

There's been a few people who've emailed me, lots of just asking more questions.

1:23.8

I've had quite a bit of folks just expressing appreciation that we're even doing this.

1:31.3

And it really is very encouraging to me because when we get into some of the maybe softer

1:39.8

topics like supervision and stuff like that, I think it will be really beneficial to folks.

1:47.8

So that's been real awesome.

1:49.5

I haven't really heard really any negative feedback at all, which is really nice.

1:56.4

I would like if folks have constructive criticism or things that we would like they would like for us to
