| مستخلص: |
Given the finding that current introductory psychology textbooks do not share a substantial common core vocabulary, we examined 2 related questions. First, was there a substantial core a half century ago before introductory texts became so lengthy and encyclopedic? Second, is there a classic core vocabulary (terms in the core vocabularies of both contemporary texts and those from the 1950s)? We did not find a substantial common core for the 1950s texts and conclude that it is highly unlikely one has ever existed. However, a classic core vocabulary of over 100 terms does exist, and we discuss the importance of covering these terms in the introductory course. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
