Karl Jung (known for personality types)
BF Skinner(known for behaviorism)
Jean Piaget (known as a child-development expert)
Albert Bandura (social learning theory-- observation, modelling, imitation)
Carl Rogers (was interested in human potential)
William James (the other Father of psychology [but more known for developing American psychology], James helped to establish psychology as a science)
