The edge effect in perception or just edge effect.

So a happy child who starts to cry when they drop their ice cream is more intense than just showing a crying child with dropped ice cream.

It applys to any sudden change in perception. So getting into a hot shower or cold pool. Walking intro a house where cooking is going on. Sudden change in volume like at party when something happens and everybody goes silent.
