✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Insight Learning Theory
According to Gestalt psychologists Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Köhler, and Kurt Koffka, learning is not merely the result of blind trial and error; rather, it is based on insight.
- Cognitive Reorganization: In Köhler's experiment, the chimpanzee utilized its cognitive capacities to perceptually reorganize the entire situation of the problem, leading to a sudden solution.
- Aha! Experience: The sudden realization of the solution represents a cognitive restructuring of the perceptual field, emphasizing wholeness and insight rather than mechanical repetition.
Conclusion: Option C accurately describes the core premise of Gestalt psychology and Insight Learning Theory.
