Well, not exactly.
Conduction means you touch something and that something slowly gets hotter and conducts heat away from your body. You can calculate how fast the energy is transferred based on properties of the material and geometry of objects and their interface.
Convection means you touch something and that something is constantly being replaced. You can't use the formula for conduction here.
In case of convection, the basic mechanism of energy being moved has nothing to do with conduction, rather with movement (replacement) of the material that takes away the heat.
How is moving heat by moving the material and moving heat by letting it to dissipate through stationary material not two different processes?
