Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Insight Learning Theory
According to Gestalt psychology, learning is not a mechanical process; rather, it is based on the cognitive restructuring of the total situation and a sudden emergence of 'insight'. Wolfgang Köhler proved through his experiments on a chimpanzee (Sultan) in the Canary Islands that an organism perceives scattered circumstances as a unified whole through its mental capacities and instantly finds a solution to the problem.
- Gestalt Approach: Focuses on the whole situation rather than isolated parts.
- Cognitive Restructuring: The sudden mental reorganization of the problem field.
- Role of Sultan: Demonstrated problem-solving using tools through sudden comprehension.
