Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The person is experiencing changes in the appearance of flowers on the wallpaper, which are not actually there. However, these changes are not perceived as real, external stimuli but rather as a product of the person's own mind. This is characteristic of a pseudo-hallucination, which is a type of sensory experience that is not fully hallucinatory but has some of the features of one. True hallucinations involve perceiving sensory stimuli that are not present in the external environment, and Kanizsa illusions and hue contrast illusions both involve misperceptions of existing stimuli rather than the creation of entirely new ones.
