Is the term "activation object" just another name of "variable object" or is there actually any difference between them? I have been reading a few JavaScript articles about how variable scopes are formed in an execution context, and from my point of view it seems that in most of the articles they use these two terms interchangeably.

An activated object just means an object that represents an element on a web page that an event occurred on. So if an image is clicked, the JavaScript object that represents that image is the activated object.
