What's the difference between stimulation and simulation? One is spelt without the 't'.
Well, I was not very sure if 'simulation' was 'stimulation' or vice versa until yesterday when I was writing a note for a case that I was working on.
Just to be sure, I went to check the Free Online Dictionary. It defines stimulation as the act of arousing an organism to action, any stimulating information or event; acts to arouse action, (physiology) the effect of a stimulus (on nerves or organs etc.) or mutual sexual fondling prior to sexual intercourse - none of the meanings that I was looking for.
Then, the one without the 't' - simulation. Meaning: The act or process of simulating, an imitation; a sham, assumption of a false appearance, imitation or representation, as of a potential situation or in experimental testing - yes, this is the 'simulation' that I wanted - a mock-up, a model. Hehehe. 8-))
