Kappa effect in psychology

 The kappa effect refers to a finding that people misperceive the duration of a stimulus when two different stimuli of different sizes are presented for the same duration.

A large visual stimulus appears to be present for a longer period of time compared to a smaller stimulus even though both are presented for the same duration.
