What is trichromatic theory and opponent process theory?

The trichromatic theory explains how the three types of cones detect different light wavelengths. The opponent process theory explains how the cones connect to the ganglion cells and how opposing cells are excited or inhibited by certain wavelengths of light.

Which of the following statements best describes Trico Matic theory and opponent process theory?

Which of the following statements best describes trichromatic theory and opponent-process theory? Research has not supported either theory. Both theories are equally accurate, but they apply to different levels of the nervous system. The trichromatic theory is more accurate than the opponent-process theory.

How do trichromatic and opponent process theories differ quizlet?

The trichromatic theory holds that people have three types of receptors that are sensitive to wavelengths associated with red, green, and blue. The opponent process theory holds that color perception depends on receptors that make antagonistic responses to red versus green, blue versus yellow, and black versus white.

Which theory of color vision is supported by after images trichromatic or opponent process?

The opponent process theory adds to the trichromatic theory. Along with three main cones, within the brain are specialized color receptor pairs. The three color pairs include red-green, blue-yellow, and black-white. This theory explains afterimages and color blindness.
