What's the difference between multiplicity and numerosity?
Multiplicity
Definition:
(n.) The quality of being multiple, manifold, or various; a state of being many; a multitude; as, a multiplicity of thoughts or objects.

(18) Multiple operations were done in 7 patients prior to the appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
(19) The multiple logistic model, the most commonly used model for the analysis of coronary heart disease studies, does not consider survival time in assessment of the dependent covariates and does not account for the censoring which usually occurs in such studies.
(20) Odds ratios were computed by multiple logistic regression analysis and revealed no additional relationships; however, there were suggested dose-response gradients for height, weight at age 20, and body surface area in the Japanese women and for breast size in the Caucasian women.
Numerosity
Definition:
(n.) The state of being numerous; numerousness.
(n.) Rhythm; harmony; flow.
Example Sentences:
(1) Visual numerosity judgements were made for tachistoscopically presented linear arrays of dots or lines.
(2) 'Numerosity' units are propsoed to account for the results.
(3) Judgment of stimulus duration was found to be a monotonically increasing function of both foreperiod duration and numerosity of dots.
(4) The size invariance observed constrains the range of potential models, since the perceived numerosity can be identified only by means of a feature of the stimulus that will remain invariant after any change in the absolute stimulus size.
(5) Four possible interpretations of the effect of organization on numerosity perception are discussed.
(6) Contingent upon their skill level, children counted by multiple units (twos, threes, and fours) that corresponded to the numerosity of subgroupings (2, 3, and 4).
(7) The psychophysical performance of the prelinguals was, in general, poorer than that of the postlinguals; prelingual performance was poorer for repetition rate and electrode position identification, gap detection, and durational and numerosity judgments.
(8) The effect of prior time information that concerned foreperiod duration was negligible for both process and reactive schizophrenics when the numerosity of dots was variable from trial to trial.
(9) Contrasting effects of different numerosities and perceptual arrangements are discussed in terms of contextual support for the use, and development, of numerical skills among young children.
(10) When thirty subjects were asked to judge numerosity, their estimates decreased significantly as cluster measures increased.
(11) In the first condition, the patterns shown to the infants varied in amount of contour but had an equal number of elements; in the second, they varied in numerosity but had an equal amount of contour; and in the third, the patterns varied in both numerosity and contour.
(12) When pitch of sound was correlated with foreperiod duration so that it functioned as prior information, such monotonic function was eliminated for schizophrenics only when the numerosity of dots was constant from trial to trial.
(13) This means that the perceived numerosity is size invariant, at least for a 1.6-times magnification and a 3-times reduction of the test pattern.
(14) This numerosity limit was twice that found for equivalent linear arrays, with no grouping.
(15) The effect of prior information as to numerosity of dots was negligible for both schizophrenics and alcoholics when foreperiod duration was variable from trial to trial.

(17) From these preliminary results, tentative proposals concerning 'numerosity' units and their properties are made.
(18) When subjects were asked to estimate the numerosity of a display, reports were lower for displays containing repeated letters, for example, DDDD, than for displays containing distinct letters, for example, NRVT.
(19) When pitch of sound, which functioned as a warning signal, was correlated with numerosity of dots, the monotonic relation between numerosity of dots and estimation of stimulus duration was eliminated for alcoholics, but not for schizophrenics, only when foreperiod duration was constant from trial to trial.
