Japanese dictionary question - また、その

Japanese Language
1

I’ve seen this a few times already in a online japanese dictionary, but I don’t quite get what it means. Basically, it gives a sentence defining the word and then says また、その (repeat a word). For example:

体験
自分で実際に経験すること。また、その経験。

The first sentence seems to indicate that 体験 means one’s personal experience. So what does 「また、その経験」add/clarify about the definition? Is it a suru verb thing, where the first sentence is describing the act of acquiring the experience (verb), and the second sentence is saying also the experience itself (noun)?

2

Yes, it’s the act of experiencing and the experience itself.
