When critically analyzing the philosophical structure of the 'Insight Learning Theory' under Gestalt Psychology developed by Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Köhler, and Kurt Koffka, on which fundamental point does this theory differ from Thorndike's 'Trial and Error Theory', and from a cognitive perspective, which statement most accurately defines the phenomenon of 'sudden solution' (Aha! Experience) in Köhler's experiments on the chimpanzee 'Sultan'?

Understanding Gestalt Insight Learning Theory

According to Gestalt psychologists, learning is not a mechanical or trial-and-error process, but rather a sudden and holistic reorganization of the entire perceptual field or problem situation.

• Köhler's Experiment: Wolfgang Köhler's experiments with the chimpanzee 'Sultan' proved that instead of viewing elements separately, the animal perceives the whole situation, leading to sudden 'Insight' (Aha! Experience).
• Comparison with Thorndike: Unlike Thorndike's connectionism which focuses on blind trial and error, Gestalt theory emphasizes cognitive mapping and structural understanding.
