When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

post-imagen / imagen fantasma / imagen residual

El texto está describiendo justamente el fenómeno de la persistencia de la visión. Se trata de una imagen fantasma que seguimos percibiendo durante unos segundos tras mirar durante un rato fijamente a una imagen estática, o a una figura con un color intenso.

agree Anne Smith Campbell : Dentro de la Psicología existe como concepto de las otras dos opciones, la primera, pero sin el "guión". :)

postimagen

Postimagen (after-image): Fenómeno endóptico por el cual la persona al estimular la retina percibe una imagen, positiva, negativa o complementaria, al cambiar la mirada sobre un fondo neutro o al cerrar los ojos.

Postimagen complementaria (complementary after-image): Fenómeno endóptico por el cual la post-imagen se percibe del color complementario del color que lo estimuló.
