prism adaptation involves a change in the perceived spatial location of objects while the latter refers to a change in the perceived color of a stimulus.
for classic phenomenon of prism adaptation, a wedge prism is placed between the eyes and the world caousing everything to appear displaced a few inches to the left or right depending on the size and direction of the prism. Consequently, initial reaching and pointing will be unsuccessful as a person aims for the seen rather than the actual location. Following proactice, often given by watching one's own hand through the prism, the error is eliminated. the correction persists when the prism is removed, and will manifest itself as an effor in the direction on opposite the initial error. The change in pointing that occurs to a viusal target, whether measured with or without th prism, is known as adaptation.
To produce McCollough effect, a magenta and black striped vertical grating is alternated with a green and black striped horizontal grating. Following a few minutes of induction, a colorless (achromatic) vertical grating elicits the perception of a weakly saturated green, and an achromatic horizontal grating appears pink.
