Under the 'Insight Theory of Learning' propounded by Max Wertheimer, Kohler, and Koffka, while micro-analyzing the experiments conducted on the chimpanzee 'Sultan' and the concept of 'Insight', which of the following statements most accurately defines the essential and cognitive nature of this learning process?

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.
