What's the difference between latency and recency?

Latency


Definition:

  • (n.) The state or quality of being latent.

Example Sentences:

  • (17) All median latencies of waves III and V in the study group were significantly higher than those of the control children.
  • (18) Peak latencies from all recording sites clustered into two distinct groups--those that included N1 from 'TME,' peak 'I' of the 'A' record and trajectory amplitude peak 'a' of 3-CLT, and those that included the negative peak of '8-AP' and trajectory amplitude peak 'b' of 3-CLT, as well as peak 'II' of the 'A' record, when present.
  • (19) Rooting latency showed a significant additive maternal strain effect but little systematic effect of pup genotype.
  • (20) Giving pontine rabbits 6-OHDA elicited a short-latency fall in blood pressure, resembling the hypotensive phase in intact animals.

Recency


Definition:

  • (n.) The state or quality of being recent; newness; new state; late origin; lateness in time; freshness; as, the recency of a transaction, of a wound, etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Neither duration nor recency of OC use had a protective effect against peptic ulcer.
  • (2) The results of all three studies support the position that reminding provides a direct basis for later judgments of the relative recency of events.
  • (3) On the temporal recency task, the alcoholics were impaired when they were asked unexpectedly to judge how recently these stimuli had been presented.
  • (4) P3 target stimulus amplitude was reduced significantly for the subjects who had not eaten relative to those who had eaten, whereas peak P3 latency was only moderately affected by the recency of food consumption over task conditions.
  • (5) When the interval between List 2 and the test was shortened, recency effects were found for part-word cues for both cued recall and production instructions.
  • (6) The auditory advantage for recall of recency items has been explained in terms of (1) the contributions of precategorical acoustic storage (PAS), (2) an advantage of changing-state over static stimuli, and (3) an advantage of primary-linguistic coding.
  • (7) Like human judgments of recency, accuracy varied inversely with the lag and directly with the temporal separation of the objects in the probe.
  • (8) The results showed that the rehearsal training had an overall facilitatory effect on recall and that this effect was more pronounced for signs than for words, especially in the recency portion of the serial position curve.
  • (9) A similar trend emerged in recency of Pap smear, with 14% of older controls and 52% of the younger group reporting a cervical smear within 3 years before the interview.
  • (10) Results indicated that speech redundancy can be circumvented cognitively, nasality was more salient (different) than voicing, and a recency effect was found.
  • (11) The effect of manipulating these variables was such that sometimes no recency effect was obtained, implying that their state is sometimes critical for the effect.
  • (12) Previous results showing recency with ASL stimuli in normal subjects were not replicated.
  • (13) The validity of DIS-CM (Chinese modified version of Diagnostic Interview Schedule) was examined by analyzing lifetime prevalence of each age group, age at onset, and recency of illness.
