Psychology Vocabulary
Listed below are vocabulary words that, upon completion of the unit of instruction, should be familiar to
students. These words are introduced in the student text. Some of these words will be used in the
CRT’s. Every effort has been made to make the readability of each CRT appropriate for the grade level
at which the assessment was written. If needed, teachers are allowed to assist students with reading and
comprehending difficult words or phrases they may encounter during the CRT assessment. The
following are guidelines for providing assistance.
 Any word(s) may be pronounced to a student as necessary.
 Additional assistance may be given for words that do not appear on the list below
(defining words, providing context clues, giving examples, etc.).
 Do not provide clues that may help students figure out the correct answer.
