Although the word convection is usually used to describe the natural circulation of gas or liquid caused by temperature differences, the convection in "convection oven" has a more general definition: the transfer of heat via movement of gas or liquid. In a regular oven, convection occurs due to the temperature difference between air near the heating element and the cooler air near the food being warmed. A regular oven relies on a combination of radiation from the walls and, to a lesser extent, air convection to heat the food. Convection ovens impart more convective heat than regular ovens by using fans to force air movement. Which of these convection ovens do you like the best?
