✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Gestalt Learning Theory
According to Gestalt Psychology, learning is not merely the result of mechanical 'trial and error' as proposed by Thorndike. Wolfgang Köhler, through his experiments on chimpanzees like Sultan, demonstrated that an organism inspects the total field of a problem and achieves sudden 'insight' by reorganizing its cognitive field.
Key Aspects of Insight Learning:
- Holistic Perception: The learner perceives the total situation rather than isolated parts.
- Cognitive Restructuring: Sudden mental reorganization of the problem field.
- Integration: It combines both prior experiences and immediate environmental conditions.
Therefore, option D provides the most comprehensive and scientifically accurate explanation.
