Detailed Explanation
Understanding Gestalt Theory of Learning
According to Gestalt psychology, learning is not a mechanical process; rather, it is the direct perception and mental reorganization of the total situation (Gestalt means 'whole').
- Cognitive Reorganization: Wolfgang Köhler proved through his experiments on chimpanzees (Sultan) that when an individual faces a problem, they perceive its various aspects as a unified whole rather than in isolation.
- Sudden Solution: The solution emerges suddenly through 'insight' once the organism understands the interrelationships within the environment.
Therefore, option C is the most accurate and scientifically grounded explanation.
