Detailed Explanation
According to Gestalt psychologists—especially Wolfgang Köhler—learning is not a mechanical or gradual process, but is based on viewing the whole configuration (Gestalt) of a problem situation and its sudden cognitive reorganization. This can be understood in more detail through the Wikipedia reference. The 'Aha! Experience' or insight holds central importance in this theory.
