Preferred term

aftereffects  

Definition

  • A perceptual aftereffect can be said to occur when an inducing stimulus (typically presented for a prolonged period) affects subsequent perception of another stimulus. As described in this entry, aftereffects are a seemingly maladaptive consequence of the processes of sensory adaptation by which our sensory systems are continually matching their response properties to the prevailing environment.
