Backward masking refers to a visual stimulus that quickly follows a target stimulus and interferes with the target processing. This type of masking is easier to produce than forward masking because the neural processing of the target stimulus is disrupted after it has already been perceived, making it more difficult for the brain to process and store the information about the initial target. Forward masking, on the other hand, involves a stimulus that precedes the target and interferes with its processing before it has been fully perceived. This requires a more precise timing and can be more difficult to produce.
