Timberlake's Behavior Systems model constitutes a discontinuity in theoretical and empirical consequences of traditional approaches to the experimental study of behavior, such as operant as well as classical conditioning. Here we consider the synergy of an animal-centered approach and acknowledge that niche-related behaviors as functional activities create synergy with Gibson's ecological approach, in at least three terms. These are: an ecological stance for learning and behavior, hierarchical organization of behavior systems, and affordances implied in the process of tuning experimental procedures. The ideas expressed herein favor a paradigm shift toward an ecological approach to behavioral science.
廷伯莱克的行为系统模型在行为实验研究的传统方法（如操作性条件反射和经典条件反射）的理论和实证结果方面构成了一种不连续性。在此，我们考虑以动物为中心的方法的协同作用，并承认与生态位相关的行为作为功能活动，至少在三个方面与吉布森的生态方法产生协同作用。这三个方面是：学习和行为的生态立场、行为系统的层次组织以及调整实验程序过程中所隐含的可供性。本文所表达的观点支持向行为科学的生态方法转变的范式转变。
