Wilhelm Wundt and William James are said to be the fathers of psychology due to their extensive research in the field. Sigmund Freud is known for his controversial views in psychoanalysis. He was originally a neuroscientist and began studying his patients from a psychiatric point of view. His theories center around the unconscious.

Ivan Pavlov is known for his work in conditioning as well. He is most known for his classical conditioning experiment with the salivating dogs who were conditioned to respond to a bell in anticipation of food.

John Watson was a behavioral psychologist. He is known for his conditioning experiment in which he conditioned a little boy to be afraid of a white rat. This eventually created ethical concerns which created ethical laws anyone working in the psych field must adhere to.
