Herb Simon was probably the closest to having a primary affiliation with
Psychology. He had a joint appointment in psych and computer science. He
received his award for his work in decision making applied to economics.
Along the lines of Simon's Nobel prize, I keep waiting for Kahneman &
Tversky to receive the award for their work in decision making.

We _claim_ a lot of people, but I don't think that there has ever been a
Nobel winner whose primary affiliation was with Psychology.
