Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Insight Learning
According to the Gestalt theory of learning, the theory of Insight was propounded by Wolfgang Köhler.

This is also referred to as the 'Aha! Experience'.
- Key Concept: Reorganization of the perceptual field.
- Theorist: Wolfgang Köhler.
- Associated Experiment: Sultan the chimpanzee using boxes and sticks.
