✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
According to Gestalt psychologists, especially Wolfgang Köhler, learning is not a mechanical or gradual process, but rather a sudden mental resolution known as 'Insight'.
Key Concepts:
- Sudden Resolution: Problem-solving occurs without gradual attempts through the sudden perception and cognitive restructuring of the total field.
- Cognitive Restructuring: The learner perceives all elements of the situation simultaneously to form a holistic understanding.
Therefore, option (b) is the correct statement defining the cognitive nature of insight learning.
