✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Insight Learning Theory
According to Gestalt Psychology, learning is not a mechanical or gradual process; rather, it is the direct and sudden perception of the whole situation.
Key features of Köhler's theory include:
- Cognitive Restructuring: When an organism faces a problem, it observes the scattered elements of the situation and suddenly reorganizes its cognitive field to find a solution.
- Aha! Experience: The sudden flash of insight often referred to as the 'Aha! Experience'.
- Whole over Parts: The emphasis is on perceiving the problem in its entirety rather than focusing on isolated parts through blind trial and error.
Therefore, Option B is the most accurate and scientifically authentic characteristic of this theory.
