I remember the groups of answers were:

Tolman - dogs

Köhler - chimps

Pavlov - cats

Thorndike - rats

In this particular case, the correct answer is: Kohler - Chimps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kohler was the first psychology to experiment with chimps. He conducted multiple experiments with nine chimps in which he evaluated diverse constructs that could be aplicabble to human beings.

His main field of study in psychology was learning psychology and he conducted multiple experiments in order to prove and disprove his hypothesis.

He is know for being the first psychologist to work with primates.

In conclusion, the correct answer is: Kohler, chimps.
