Associated Psychologist

Associated psychologist links a phenomenon to the researcher most closely connected with identifying or naming it. Wikipedia notes that, with Amos Tversky, Daniel Kahneman "established a cognitive basis for common human errors that arise from heuristics and biases," work that named many of the phenomena studied today. This grouping traces a phenomenon back to the person whose work first described it.
