Yes, having studied psychology and neuroscience I get often frustrated how seemingly normal words take on highly specific and often contrasting meanings.
Reading article after article and realising that every author uses "attention', "perception", "motivation" in slightly shifted ways. In principle it makes sense that increased specificity is needed in a particular field. But when the meaning shifts meaningfully between author working on, ostensibly, the same topic the confusion is immense. I have no clue how to tackle this issue.
This is why scientific names for species are useful. Too bad that practice isn’t used more in other sciences.
