Greenberg was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He received his B.S. degree from Brooklyn College in 1961, followed by an M.A. degree from the University of Wichita in 1964 and a Ph.D. from Kansas State University in 1970.[2] He then began working with Ethel Tobach in the Department of Animal Behavior at the American Museum of Natural History.[1] In 1983, Greenberg co-founded the Southwestern Comparative Psychology Association (with Michael Domjan, Del Thiessen, and Steve Davis) and the International Society for Comparative Psychology (with Ethel Tobach).[3] After teaching at Wichita State University for 40 years, he retired and moved to Chicago, Illinois.[4]

As of 2008, Greenberg is a life member of the American Psychological Association (APA) and secretary of the International Society of Comparative Psychology.[4] In 2015, he received the Clifford T. Morgan Distinguished Service to Div. 6 Award from the APA's division 6, the Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology.[5]

Following my doctoral training at Kansas State University, he became associated with Ethel Tobach at the then influential Department of Animal Behavior at New York’s American Museum of Natural History (Greenberg, Partridge, Weiss, & Pisula, 2004). The department was once headed by T. C. Schneirla, and he soon came under the influence of the approach to psychology that he espoused. The coincidence of his exposure to Kantorian and Schneirlerian (see Lazar, 1978) psychology has been brought to bear in his current intellectual involvement with developmental systems theory...
