A+Negative+Afterimage

Consider the following:
The Gen Psych textbook has a TRY IT in Chapter 3 that says Stare at the dot in the green, black, and yellow flag for approximately 1 minute. Then shift your gaze to the dot in the blank rectangle. You will see the American flag in its true colors--red, white, and blue, which are the opponent-process opposites of green, black, and yellow.

Discuss:
Do the activity. Report results and discuss your experience below.
