CBSE Class 12 Psychology Important Terms and Meanings — Quick Revision for Board Exam 2026
The CBSE board psychology paper rewards students who know their definitions well. A good score in both short-answer and long-answer questions depends on your ability to explain a term clearly and concisely.
This chapter-wise list covers every important term in the Class 12 Psychology syllabus. No long paragraphs. Just the term, its meaning, and its place. Bookmark this page and review it the night before your exam.
Quick Tips for the Psychology Board Exam
Don't just memorize the definitions individually. Connect them. Understand which psychologist's concept is from which perspective—the board loves to ask "who proposed this theory" type questions.
For long-answer questions, first define the term, explain it, then add an example. This three-step structure works for almost every question.
Diagram-based answers score well. If a chapter features a model or process (such as Selye's GAS or Maslow's hierarchy), draw it, even if the question doesn't specifically ask for it. Examiners appreciate visual clarity.
Practice previous year papers. You'll notice that some terms repeat every year—those are your high-priority terms. Focus your revision there.
Good luck with your exam. Know your terms, write clearly, and you'll do well.
