In aileron control
- the up going aileron moves further than down going aileron
- the down going aileron moves further than up going aileron
- it is assisted by the rudder
Explanation from PART66Online
Differential aileron geometry makes the up-going aileron deflect through a larger angle than the down-going one. This reduces the extra drag created by the down-going aileron and helps counter adverse yaw, so the up aileron moves further than the down aileron.

the best explanation is that the up going aileron for example when the aircraft tries to turn to the left by lowering the left wing down,the right wing and the aileron on it,move on a higher angle and thus,moving "further" .The best answer would be "moving in a bigger angle" .
