For the slightly dense amongst us (me !) could someone explain what causes aileron reversal and what the effects are.

I'm assuming that its due to the wing twisting when the ailerons are deflected at high speed - the ailerons remain fixed in space and the wing twists.

Does this actually reverse the control input from the pilot ie a left bank rolls the a/c to the right, or does the term 'aileron reversal' refer purely to the structural effect.
