Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Gestalt Learning Theory
According to Gestalt Psychology, learning is not merely a mechanical or incremental response, but a sudden cognitive reorganization of the situation known as 'Insight'.
- Kohler emphasized that problem-solving occurs through a holistic perception of the field rather than blind trial and error.
- This sudden flash of understanding highlights higher-order cognitive processes.
