In this podcast, we talk about a wide variety of research and practice topics, as well as some funny stories from his long and prolific career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, talk about how his dog ate his copy of Strategies and Tactics, how he and his colleagues analyzed 2 and 3-point shot patterns in basketball games, his line of research that examined The Good Behavior Game, Behavior Analysis and the game of Poker, and his take on why he and his students have such an affinity for one another.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That's not all. We probably spent the most amount of time discussing the topic of ignoring in the context of Behavioral Intervention Plans, and its potential problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really hope you stick around until the end of the podcast, because we close the show in a slightly different format. Instead of asking Tim my normal closing question (advice for the newly minted), I ask him to share his thoughts on the future direction of Behavior Analysis, including both risks and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the links to the resources we mentioned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/49LBiuO\">Beyond Freedom and Dignity<\/a>\u00a0(note: Amazon Associates Link).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1901\/jaba.2000.33-137\">Vollmer and Bourret (2013)<\/a>.
