Under the Gestalt learning theory (Theory of Insight), which of the following statements is most appropriate and scientifically true regarding the essential and cognitive nature of the problem-solving process in the experiments conducted by Wolfgang Köhler on a chimpanzee named Sultan?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Gestalt Psychology, learning is not a mechanical process; rather, it is the process of perceiving the entire situation at once and achieving mental restructuring through sudden insight. Köhler's experiments proved that the organism suddenly understands the relationships among the various parts of a problem using its intellectual capacity.
