Vivid nouns (also called exact nouns or specific nouns) are more specific than general (non vivid) nouns. Vivid nouns are used to make the meaning clearer or more interesting. For example:
A man called you today.
Or,
My teacher called you today.
Or,
A contractor called you today.
Or
That crazy neighbor called you today.
Vivid nouns give the listener (reader) a better idea of what is taking place.
Vivid nouns are specific, detailed, and help your audience get a clearer picture in their head, while non-vivid nouns are vague and non-specific.
A collective noun is a word used to group people or things taken together as one whole. Most nouns are not collective nouns, for example a word for a person (mother, uncle, lawyer, neighbor) and a word for a place (continent, city, island, park) are not collective nouns. Collective nouns are words for things, but not all words for things can be collective nouns, such as cat, hamburger, oxygen, money, etc. Proper nouns are not collective nouns (Napoleon, India, Coca Cola, etc.) A collective noun is considered a collective noun as a function, not as a definition of the noun. Collective nouns are an informal part of language. A collective noun is a noun used to group two or more people or things in a descriptive way.
