William Timberlake was an ethological psychologist,[1] with a background in neoHullian behavioral therapy.[2] He was a renowned leader in sciences of animal behavior,[3] showcasing animal behavior as an evolved complex hierarchically organized system.[4] He was a Professor Emeritus in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University.[5] He was one of the founders of Indiana University's Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior.[6]

Timberlake published extensively in the Neurotree Journal.[7] With Jim Allison he developed an approach to reinforcement influencing many areas of study, including research into treating individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder.[8] Timberlake contributed extensively to the study of reinforcement,[9] provided explanations of superstitious behavior[10] and misbehavior.  He also publicized information on circadian rhythms[11] and their modification, among other areas.
