Invited Paper Session #306
CE Offered: BACB
Translational OBM Research and Its Relevance for Practice
Sunday, May 30, 2021
5:00 PM–5:50 PM
Online
Area: OBM; Domain: Applied Research
Chair: Byron J. Wine (The Faison Center)
CE Instructor: Florence DiGennaro Reed, Ph.D.
Presenting Author: FLORENCE DIGENNARO REED (University of Kansas)
Abstract:

The roles of basic and applied research have been the subject of much discussion in behavior analysis in recent years (e.g., Sidman, 2011). One view contends that innovation is possible through a translational research paradigm that synthesizes “basic and applied questions, literatures, and methods” (Mace & Critchfield, 2010, p. 293). This presentation will use Pasteur’s quadrant as a backdrop to describe the infrastructure of an OBM research laboratory designed to span the continuum of basic-to-applied research. To showcase the value of translational OBM research and its relevance for practice, data from use-inspired basic and applied research will be shared.

Instruction Level: Intermediate
Target Audience:

scientists, researchers, graduate students, OBM practitioners

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) define translational research; (2) describe the role of translational research in scientific discovery and addressing socially important problems in the workplace; (3) discuss results of studies using a translational research approach to inform practice issues.
