The vocabulary of anglophone psychology largely developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The creators of this vocabulary include such well-known names as William James, Joan Riviere, E. L. Thorndike, and James Strachey. Along with others, they invented many new words and word meanings for psychology. The more a psychologist responded to the need for new vocabulary the more likely were they to be mentioned in publications. Moreover, linguistically creative psychologists occurred together in publications to a greater extent than less linguistically creative psychologists, with William James having the most co-occurrences. A network is presented that links each member of a sample of 59 linguistically creative psychologists to the other member of the sample with whom they most frequently co-occur (e.g., E. L. Thorndike co-occurs most frequently with William James). For each pair, we provide brief descriptions of their similarities and/or differences. There is also a cluster of translators who created new English words and word meanings in order to capture the meanings of words in other languages that had no satisfactory equivalents in English. Generally speaking, the more success psychologists have had in filling the lacunae in psychology’s vocabulary, the more they have been recognized by others.

英语心理学的词汇在 19 世纪和 20 世纪初得到了很大发展。这个词汇的创造者包括威廉·詹姆斯、琼·里维埃、埃尔·桑代克和詹姆斯·斯特拉奇等知名人士。他们与其他人一起为心理学发明了许多新词和词义。心理学家对新词汇的需求反应越多，他们就越有可能在出版物中被提及。此外，语言创造性心理学家在出版物中的共同出现程度要高于语言创造性较差的心理学家，其中威廉詹姆斯的共同出现次数最多。提出了一个网络，该网络将 59 位语言创造性心理学家样本中的每个成员与样本中他们最常共同出现的其他成员（例如，EL 桑代克最常与威廉詹姆斯共同出现）。对于每一对，我们都会简要描述它们的相似之处和/或不同之处。还有一群翻译人员创造了新的英语单词和词义，以捕捉其他语言中在英语中没有令人满意的对等词的词义。一般来说，心理学家在填补心理学词汇的空白方面越成功，就越能被他人认可。
