I need to understand the psychological process of intake. It is defined as internalized knowledge in sources however how is an input internalized to be intake? What does an individual need to internalize an input and have intake? What happens in the mind when an input is being internalized?
It depends what inputs you are referring to and what field of psychology you want the answer from. there are many explanations for internalisation. one fundamental aspect Is understanding how an input is being processed. A social constructionist for example would say we use prior experience when processing and internalising information, a social bookcase if you like, which we draw on when internalising something. once practiced and confirmed enough we turn this learning into fact until something else comes along which contradicts this learning.
I mean how do we differentiate "intake" from "input"? To have an intake what processes does an individual need or experience? Is there any study on cognitive process of intake?
Perhaps you would like to read my work on a new model for the human psyche. In special, the part about shared egos.

This might help. It's a bit old but it does seem to discuss some of the issues that you are referring to. But I have to agree with Tricia Smith - the answer to your question will completely depend on the framework you are working within. However, I'm guessing you are looking at things from a more cognitive view, so Schmidt's article might be a good place to start.
Hope it helps!
The context isn't clear in the question. My former professor, Steve Krashen, discussed intake at length in the context of language acquisition/learning. In this case, input consists of modeling linguistic behavior; intake, or more accurately "uptake," describes when the input can be used for comprehensible output.
In the context of neurolinguistics, input consists of the perceived signal. In some fairly clear instances, the perceived signal affects neural architecture, as in the case of neuronal recycling, in which an area of the brain that at some point in time served to process "A" is repurposed to process "B." The result can be described, I would argue, as a form of cognitive "uptake."
