What is the difference between spatial dependence and spatial (auto)correlation?

It seems to me that in literature these terms are used synonymously.

Does spatial autocorrelation strictly refer to linear dependence, or does spatial autocorrelation refer to the set of measures of spatial dependence (moran's i,...)?

Do you know of any precise definition of both terms?

Thank you very much
