Kimya stares at a bright light and then looks away. After she looks away, she perceives a spot. What is this spot? After Image. It is a visual illusion (retinal impressions persist after the removal of a stimulus caused by the continued activation of the visual system). The positive one corresponds in color/brightness to the original image, and the negative one, being less bright or of colors complementary to the original. It may be a normal phenomenon or may be pathological. This question is related to Psychology.

The After Image is the most observed of the class of phenomena known as aftersensations.

Answer:

After Image

Explanation:

After image occurs when we spend too much time looking at bright light. This causes our vision to end up with "ghost" marks from what was shown in the bright light. The result is that our eyes absorb the specific images of light, so that image remains even after looking elsewhere.

In other words, After Image is a kind of optical illusion where a person, after constantly looking at an object of intense brightness, the image is etched into that person's eyes and will appear as dots when that person looks elsewhere. This is what happened to Kimya.

Hatshy [7]

Extraneous

An extraneous variable is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.

In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.
