The mechanisms involved in opponent-process theory take place earlier in the perceptual process than those involved in trichromatic theory.     The processes proposed by both trichromatic theory and opponent-process theory take place in the primary visual cortex.     Trichromatic theory and opponent-process theory are both strongly supported by behavioral and physiological evidence.     Recently, trichromatic theory has overtaken opponent-process theory as the best explanation of color and hue perception.

Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.
