Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The current view of how color is coded in the visual system is known as the dual-process theory. This theory proposes that color processing involves two stages: the trichromatic stage, where three types of cones in the retina respond to different wavelengths of light, and the opponent stage, where signals from the cones are processed by neurons that are sensitive to opposing pairs of colors (red-green, blue-yellow, and black-white). The opponent process is thought to begin in the retina and continue into the brain's visual processing areas, leading to the perception of color and color contrasts. Thus, the correct answer is D, which suggests that color processing begins with a trichromatic process and then switches to an opponent process.
