Difference between Decryption-failure and Plaintext-checking oracles

I am reading this paper, which in the introduction, tells about two main types of key recovery SCAs :

  • Reaction_type SCAs, which uses a decryption failure oracle
  • Message-recovery-type SCAs, which uses a plaintext-checking oracle

I don't understand the difference between these two oracles. In this presentation, the authors categorize three different oracles, including these two.

My understanding is that a plaintext-checking oracle takes a ciphertext $c$ and a plaintext $m$ and returns 1 if the decryption of $c$ gives $m$, and 0 otherwise.

Regarding decryption failure oracle, it returns 0 if the decryption has failed, 1 otherwise. I don't understand if this oracle only takes a ciphertext $c$ or also a plaintext $m$. This is really unclear to me.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
