Under Gestalt learning theory (Theory of Insight), in the process of chimpanzee 'Sultan' suddenly discovering the solution to a problem in Kohler's experiments, which of the following is the most accurate literal and psychological meaning of the word 'Gestalt'?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The core basis of Gestalt psychology is that a human or animal perceives any situation or problem not in pieces, but as a 'Whole'. In German, 'Gestalt' means 'whole form' or 'configuration'. According to Kohler's theory of insight, when the learner directly observes the total situation of the problem, a sudden perceptual reorganization occurs in their mind, enabling them to grasp the solution to the entire problem in a flash.
