Detailed Explanation
Understanding the Insight Theory of Learning
According to Gestalt psychology, learning is not a mechanical trial-and-error process, but rather the ability to perceive a problem as a whole and suddenly discover a solution, known as 'Insight'.
- Wolfgang Köhler demonstrated through his famous experiments with chimpanzees that when an organism mentally reorganizes the entire perceptual field, the solution emerges suddenly ("Aha! Experience").
- It emphasizes cognitive restructuring rather than mere stimulus-response strengthening.
Therefore, Option B is the correct psychological explanation as it highlights suddenness and cognitive reorganization.
