'Linguist' is a very general term for a scientist who deals with language in general. A psycho-linguist does research within the field of psycho-linguistics (or is more knowledgeable in this area). The aim of psycho-linguistics is to find models, which adequately represent the cognitive operations of language processing.

Generally speaking it asks, for example, whether the brain does different things when you decipher acoustic (language) input (hear an utterance) or visual (language) input (read a text).
