What's the difference between recapitulation and repetition?

Recapitulation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of recapitulating; a summary, or concise statement or enumeration, of the principal points, facts, or statements, in a preceding discourse, argument, or essay.

  • (17) In result of all findings will it be necessary, that the disease of diphtheria must be recapitulated.
  • (18) Phylogenetic data indicate that the complete psysiological and behavioral manifestations of sleep are unique to homeotherms; furthermore "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" in the parallel development of slow wave sleep and thermoregulation as exemplified in the opossum.
  • (19) Comparing the pattern of intraoperative ischemia with the chronic ambulatory preoperative pattern, we found that, under conditions of strict hemodynamic control, intraoperative ischemia apparently recapitulated the preoperative pattern, and that the stresses of anesthesia and surgery contributed less than previously thought.
  • (20) The recapitulation of that experience calls attention to the fragility of hospital planning, the dangers that underemployed physicians will overtreat patients, the advantages of using nurses as patient care managers in hospitals, and the desirability of not operating too close to the margin.

Repetition


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of repeating; a doing or saying again; iteration.
  • (n.) Recital from memory; rehearsal.
  • (n.) The act of repeating, singing, or playing, the same piece or part a second time; reiteration of a note.
  • (n.) Reiteration, or repeating the same word, or the same sense in different words, for the purpose of making a deeper impression on the audience.
  • (n.) The measurement of an angle by successive observations with a repeating instrument.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The results of the evaluation confirm that most problems seen by first level medical personnel in developing countries are simple, repetitive, and treatable at home or by a paramedical worker with a few safe, essential drugs, thus avoiding unnecessary visits to a doctor.
  • (2) This modulation results from repetitive, alternating bursts of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, which are caused at least in part by synaptic feedback to the command neurons from identified classes of neurons in the feeding network.
  • (3) This promotion of repetitive activity by the introduction of additional potassium channels occurred up to an "optimal" value beyond which a further increase in paranodal potassium permeability narrowed the range of currents with a repetitive response.
  • (4) This condition may be caused by the prolonged, repetitive elevations of gonadal steroids and other hormones known to suppress gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion that are elicited by their daily exercise.
  • (5) Two hours after the administration, the combinations of ethanol plus diazepam and ethanol plus meclophenoxate impaired significantly the number of necessary repetitions.
  • (6) This effect of adrenalectomy on MNE excitability was further demonstrated by recording directly the neostigmine-induced repetitive neural discharges responsible for the muscle fasciculations.
  • (7) The fifth plasmid contains sequences which are repeated in the yeast genome, but it is not known whether any or all of the ribosomal protein gene on this clone contains repetitive DNA.
  • (8) For further education, this would be my priority: a substantial increase in funding and an end to tinkering with the form of qualifications and bland repetition of the “parity of esteem” trope.
