✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Gestalt Learning Theory
According to Gestalt psychology, learning is not a mechanical process or merely the result of 'trial and error', but is based on insight.
- Holistic View: Wolfgang Köhler proved through his experiments on chimpanzees that when an organism faces a problem, it observes the total field rather than just its partial aspects.
- Sudden Reorganization: The solution to the problem is attained suddenly and immediately through insight, which in Gestalt psychology is also termed the 'Aha! Experience'.
Therefore, option B accurately describes the core cognitive dynamics of insight learning.
