  1. The process of taking in external events and converting them into internal events or thoughts is called
    1. organization
    2. adaptation
    3. assimilation
    4. internalization
  2. If bf the following figures are recognized as X, then the principle in force here is
    1. prototypes
    2. template matching
    3. feature analysis
    4. context matching
  3. Following Young-Helmholtz theory of colour vision, if a given stimulus innervates 4R, 9G and 13B cones, then the perception is of less saturated greenishblue because
    1. all R G and B are mixed to produce intermediate colour
    2. G and a units are mixed to produce greenish-blue which is saturated by R units
    3. 4 units of each produce greenish-blue and the remaining units desaturate the colour
    4. 4 units of each produce white leaving
    • SG and 9B to produce greenish-blue destructed by white
