What's the difference between convergence and integration?

Convergence


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Convergency

  • (15) Convergent validity between the two non-verbal memory tests, discriminant validity against tests of verbal memory, and criterion-related validity in relation to the influence of different treatment modalities, indicate the tests as valid instruments for measuring non-verbal memory.
  • (16) Because current family systems theory indicates that positive individual relationships within a dyad (e.g., child-mother) should be related to an overall favorable impression of the family system, we hypothesized that these two instruments should demonstrate convergence on selected dimensions.

  • (20) These neurons showed a high degree of synaptic convergence, also responding synaptically with a high-frequency burst of spikes to stimulation of both visual area 2 and the corpus callosum.

Integration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of making whole or entire.
  • (n.) The operation of finding the primitive function which has a given function for its differential coefficient. See Integral.
  • (n.) In the theory of evolution: The process by which the manifold is compacted into the relatively simple and permanent. It is supposed to alternate with differentiation as an agent in development.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Some common eye movement deficits, and concepts such as 'the neural integrator' and the 'velocity storage mechanism', for which anatomical substrates are still sought, are introduced.
  • (2) The influence of the various concepts for the induction of lateral structure formation in lipid membranes on integral functional units like ionophores is demonstrated by analysing the single channel current fluctuations of gramicidin in bimolecular lipid membranes.
  • (3) "As the investigation remains live and in order to preserve the integrity of that investigation, it would not be appropriate to offer further comment."

  • (5) The coefficient of variation in the integrated area of a single peak is 16%.
  • (6) It is likely that trunk mobility is necessary to maintain integrity of SI joint and that absence of such mobility compromises SI joint structure in many paraplegics.

  • (8) Breast reconstruction should not be limited to the requiring patients, but should represent, in selected cases with favourable prognosis, an integrative and complementary procedure of the treatment.
  • (9) The authors conclude that H. pylori alone causes little or no effect on an intact gastric mucosa in the rat, that either intact organisms or bacteria-free filtrates cause similar prolongation and delayed healing of pre-existing ulcers with active chronic inflammation, and that the presence of predisposing factors leading to disruption of gastric mucosal integrity may be required for the H. pylori enhancement of inflammation and tissue damage in the stomach.
  • (10) We conclude that neuronal activities in the region of the retrofacial nucleus are important both in the integration of stimuli from the central chemoreceptors and in defining the discharge patterns of respiratory neurons.
