Era places a theory in the period when it was first proposed. Wikipedia states, "In modern science, the term "theory" refers to scientific theories, a well-confirmed type of explanation of nature, made in a way consistent with the scientific method," a standard against which older and newer theories alike are now measured. Browsing by era shows which theories belong to the same period of psychological thought.
