✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The literal meaning of Gestalt psychology is 'wholeness' or 'completeness'. Wolfgang Köhler proved through his experiments on the chimpanzee (Sultan) that an organism does not solve a problem mechanically, but rather through intellectual capacity and sudden mental analysis of the entire situation via 'insight'. This involves the reorganization of the perceptual field.
