Spatial


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to space.

Temporal


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the temple or temples; as, the temporal bone; a temporal artery.
  • (n.) Of or pertaining to time, that is, to the present life, or this world; secular, as distinguished from sacred or eternal.
  • (n.) Civil or political, as distinguished from ecclesiastical; as, temporal power; temporal courts.
  • (n.) Anything temporal or secular; a temporality; -- used chiefly in the plural.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The various evocational changes appear to form sets of interconnected systems and this complex network seems to embody some plasticity since it has been possible to suppress experimentally some of the most universal evocational events or alter their temporal order without impairing evocation itself.
  • (2) For each temporal position of the independent noise, discriminability was a function of the ratio of the duration of the independent noise (tau) to the total burst duration.
