What term describes the continuation of a visual sensation after removal of the stimulus?
A) Monocular
B) Afterimage
C) Fovea
D) Preimage
The continuation of a visual sensation after removal of the stimulus is Afterimage. You may perceive a spot of light even when the stimulus (the sun) has been removed, such as when you stare at the sun for a few seconds and then look away from it. An opponent-process theory identifies color pairings that result in negative afterimages when color is involved in the stimulus.
