Experience', which of the following statements most accurately explains the true cognitive nature and limitations of this theory?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Wolfgang Kohler, under Gestalt psychology, propounded the theory of insight. According to him, learning is not merely the result of mechanical trial and error, but is based on the perception of the total situation and its cognitive restructuring by the brain. When an individual suddenly understands the interrelationships of all parts of the problem, it is called the 'Aha! Experience' or immediate insight.
