What's the difference between inferential and referential?
Inferential
Definition:
(a.) Deduced or deducible by inference.
Example Sentences:
(1) Subtle cognitive deficits in Inferential Reading Comprehension were detected when Reading Vocabulary was at or better than a twelfth grade level.
(2) Three-quarters of the sample was impaired on at least one of four discourse tests (knowing the alternate meanings of ambiguous words in context; getting the point of figurative or metaphoric expressions; bridging the inferential gaps between events in stereotyped social situations; and producing speech acts that express the apparent intentions of others).

(10) For inferential analyses directed at therapeutic or preventive effects, analytic models based on site independence are deemed unsatisfactory.
(11) Clear documentation of the one-sided inferential posture of a study in its protocol.
(12) That increase is due primarily to the increase in articles using inferential statistics.
(13) It appears to explain many visual illusions, such as the movement aftereffect and center-surround induced motion, and it may bridge the gap between direct Gibsonian and indirect inferential theories of motion perception.
(14) A proper understanding and use of appropriate sampling techniques is most likely to result in the most desired representative sample, and guarantees that some underlying assumptions for inferential statistics will be satisfied.
(15) The accepted definition of amacrine cells is sufficiently vague to justify our originating a more descriptive and less inferential name for the (axonless) neurons in the inner nuclear layer which radiate processes throughout the inner synaptic layer.

(18) Inferential data suggest that environmental factors may be important to genetic penetrance albeit we still lack proof for involvement of often maligned viruses.
(19) Alternatively, for academic studies where publication with an inferential posture is of interest for either potential direction of findings, two-sided methods are typically useful.
(20) Typical inferential statistical procedures, such as the t-test and analysis of variance, compare differences in mean values of variables.
Referential
Definition:
(a.) Containing a reference; pointing to something out of itself; as, notes for referential use.
Example Sentences:
(1) In another treatment, the same students were assigned single-level study guides that did not contain referential cues, with the guides implemented as an independent activity.
(2) Intricate is the key word, as screwball dialogue plays off layered wordplay, recurring jokes and referential callbacks to build to the sort of laughs that hit you twice: an initial belly laugh followed, a few minutes later, by the crafty laugh of recognition.
(3) The main effects and interactions of speech and gesture in combination with quantitative models of performance showed the following similarities in information processing between preschoolers and adults: (1) referential evaluation of gestures occurs independently of the evaluation of linguistic reference; (2) speech and gesture are continuous, rather than discrete, sources of information; (3) 5-year-olds and adults combine the two types of information in such a way that the least ambiguous source has the most impact on the judgment.
(4) In this paper are proposed the normal referential values of MN-SSEP in children.
(5) The meeting, which was only open to the press for about 12 minutes, resembled most of Trump’s interactions with the black community to date: self-referential and placing style ahead of substance, to the chagrin of civil rights advocates.
(6) The need for an immunophenotypical referential framework relative to lymphoid follicle has led us to apply a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, by means of a sensitive immunostaining method.
(7) At the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL), our researchers are building computer environments that know what they know, know how people can best use them, and know how to draw inferences about their state--self-referential electronic tutors.
(8) The role of these two mechanisms in mediating other referential access phenomena is also discussed.
(9) The relation between sensorimotor attainments and linguistic development in children using referential speech at the single- and two-word utterance levels was examined.
(10) Performance on the referential tasks was used to derive measures of communication success, learning, and efficiency.
(11) Both groups of deaf children performed at near perfect levels on the picture recognition task, suggesting that performance differences were attributable to differential message formulation skill as opposed to differential visual processing of the referential array.
(12) Those against simplified texts argue that the problem of figurative language control is not one of linguistic complexity, but one of cognitive processing: deaf children can grasp inferred or indirect meaning so long as the referential domain is made clear.
(13) Thus, concepts introduced with the indefinite this were more accessible; therefore, the indefinite this appears to operate cataphorically to improve referential access.
(14) The importance of comparison and message-formulation skills in referential communication was studied with severely mentally retarded children.
(15) The results presented as well as the referential ones suggest the better response to therapy and longer survival of patients with planocellular bronchial carcinoma in whom higher therapeutical irradiation dose was applied (60 Gy).
