Detailed Explanation
Understanding Gestalt Theory of Insight Learning
According to Gestalt psychology, learning is not based on isolated parts of a situation, but rather on the perceptual restructuring of the 'whole field'.
- Insightful Learning: Wolfgang Köhler's 'Theory of Insight' explains that the organism suddenly grasps the interrelationships of the various parts of a problem to find a solution instantly, rather than relying solely on blind trial and error.
- Cognitive Reorganization: The 'Aha! experience' represents a sudden cognitive shift where the problem elements are perceived in a new relational configuration.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer as it accurately describes the restructuring of the field.
