None of the classics.

I'm not much of a psychologist, but I can see at least one paper by Khaneman, who won the economics Nobel for that sort of stuff. So not sure if you're being sarcastic or not?

20 of the 28 are from this decade which hardly makes them classics. Nothing from the 50s, for example. This list isn't The List.

To be fair, the title says classic and contemporary. Probably would have been better to just say "High Profile" or something instead.

Nobody wants to touch some of the classics, at least in the USA. Like this one:

Scientifically, it might be of value to replicate the experiments, but I really can't imagine anybody attempting them.
