What's the difference between aftereffect and effect?

Aftereffect


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (13) Kinesthetic Aftereffect (KAE), once a promising personality index, has been abandoned by many investigators because of poor retest reliability and intermittent validity.
  • (14) It is suggested that the deficiency of cerebral circulation is a delayed aftereffect of prenatal brain hypoxia.
  • (15) (c) Motion aftereffect had no direct and immediate influence on sway path, but rather a latent and long-term effect.
  • (16) For tonic vergence however, the aftereffect was larger and had a slower rate of decay as stimulus duration increased.
  • (17) Two modes of adaptation contribute to the TAE and account for other aftereffects: short-term fatigue, produced very quickly and long-term structural change, requiring more extended adaptation.
  • (18) To confirm this, the aftereffect was measured by nulling with different durations of test stimulus changing steadily in sound level.
  • (19) The above aftereffects of the radioprotectors was observed within 3--12 days after their use and was most pronounced for the combination of cystamine and streptomycin.
  • (20) The procedure for eliciting movement aftereffect (MAE) involves the subject's adapting to visual movement that subsequently stops.

Effect

  • (v. t.) To produce, as a cause or agent; to cause to be.
  • (v. t.) To bring to pass; to execute; to enforce; to achieve; to accomplish.

Example Sentences:
