✓ Correct! Well done.

Detailed Explanation
According to Gestalt psychologists—especially Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, and Wolfgang Kohler—learning is not a mechanical or gradual trial-and-error process, but rather based on suddenly gaining insight or apprehension by directly observing the entire environment of the problem. In this process, the organism uses its cognitive abilities to achieve a mental restructuring of the problem field.
