Within the experiment, children from ages three to six watched an adult hit, kick, and throw a blown up doll. The researchers then tested to see if their behaviour became more aggressive. Jean Piaget invented the Cognitive Theory, which entailed the idea that human development/behavior is the product of certain consistent and reliable patterns of interaction with the environment.

Howard Gardner, a part of a member of the developmental perspective of psychology, is best known for his theory of multiple intelligences which tries, in eight different ways, to demonstrate how the mind operates, or, in simpler terms, the theory is explaining how you learn best. Wilhelm Wundt, whose field was Structuralism, set up first psychological laboratory in Leipzig, Germany in 1879 and is known for training subjects in introspection and then used that to create a map of consciousness and a periodic table of sensation. He is also known for his theory of structuralism, which compares one small aspect to a whole phenomenon. Philip Zimbardo, who was a Sociocultural Psychologist is famous for conducting the Stanford Prison experiment where the aim of the study was to see the psychological effects on summarizations when taking on a role as a prison guard or prisoner. It was found the behaviour of normal, well educated men was dramatically affected when a role that involves considerable power and status is given.Charles Darwin is the founder of the evolutionary theory and developed the theory of natural
