What is the difference between Memory access time and Memory latency.

Memory access time : It is the time elapsed between CPU generating request for particular address and the time it locates it on Memory before actual transfer of bytes into registers.

Is Memory Latency is same as Memory access time ???

I think memory access time is the the total time from generating the request to getting the data of memory. Memory latency refers to the time taken by the memory to prepare the data to be accessed.

Correct me if i am wrong.....
