Head-hopping is when you switch character perspectives within the same scene, which more experienced authors warn against. I'm reading Lonesome Dove right now and the author likes to switch character perspectives in the same scene, but I think he does it well because it's not confusing. I just figured I'd better not do it anymore and stick with third-person limited, which is what you describe.
