  2. Afterimage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterimage

    An afterimage in general is an optical illusion that refers to an image continuing to appear after exposure to the original image has ceased. Prolonged viewing of the colored patch induces an afterimage of the complementary color (for example, yellow color induces a bluish afterimage).

  3. Opponent-process theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent-process_theory

    This theory also explains negative afterimages; once a stimulus of a certain color is presented, the opponent color is perceived after the stimulus is removed because the anabolic and catabolic processes are reversed. For example, red creates a positive (or excitatory) response while green creates a negative (or inhibitory) response.

  4. Lilac chaser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilac_chaser

    The lilac chaser illusion combines three simple, well-known effects, as described, for example, by Bertamini. [6] The phi phenomenon is the optical illusion of perceiving continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. The phenomenon was defined by Max Wertheimer in the Gestalt psychology in 1912 and along with ...

    Afterimage on empty shape (also known as color dove illusion) This type of illusion is designed to exploit graphical similarities. Ambiguous image: These are images that can form two separate pictures. For example, the image shown forms a rabbit and a duck. Ambigram: A calligraphic design that has multiple or symmetric interpretations. Ames ...

    The effect of the display of positivity on the message sender can be deemed as negative if the messages suppress the negative aspects of the perceived reality. Social media is a platform for individuals to post whatever content or media they desire. In some cases, one may project a positive outlook on social media to avoid reality.

  7. Optical illusion - Wikipedia

    A classical example for a physical distortion would be the apparent bending of a stick half immersed in water; an example for a physiological paradox is the motion aftereffect (where, despite movement, position remains unchanged). [4] An example for a physiological fiction is an afterimage. [4]

  8. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent_process

    Experiments by Zeki et al., [37] using the Land Color Mondrian, have shown that when normal observers view, for example, a green surface which is part of a multi-colored scene and which reflects more green than red light it looks green and its afterimage is magenta. But when the same green surface reflects more red than green light, it still ...

  9. Negative transfer (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_transfer_(memory)

    A common test for negative transfer is the AB-AC list learning paradigm from the verbal learning research of the 1950s and 1960s. In this paradigm, two lists of paired associates are learned in succession, and if the second set of associations (List 2) constitutes a modification of the first set of associations (List 1), negative transfer results and thus the learning rate of the second list ...
