Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Persistence of vision refers to the phenomenon where visual stimuli persist in the visual system for a short period of time, allowing for the perception of motion and continuity. In the case of the sparkler, the light trail created by the motion of the sparkler persists in the visual system for a brief moment, allowing for the perception of the "drawn" name. End-stopped neurons refer to neurons in the visual system that respond to stimuli with specific shapes, angles, or orientations, and are not relevant to this scenario. Bottom-up processing and top-down processing refer to different types of information processing in the brain, but are not directly related to the persistence of vision in this scenario.
