✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Gestalt Insight Theory
According to the Gestalt theory of learning, learning is not a mechanical process based merely on 'trial and error', but rather relies on insight or intuition. Köhler's experiments demonstrated that when an organism solves a problem, it does not merely observe a single part, but perceives the entire situation (field) holistically.
Suddenly, a new cognitive restructuring of the entire problem occurs in the organism's mind, commonly referred to as the 'Aha! experience'.
- Option A describes Thorndike's Trial and Error theory.
- Option B correctly represents the Gestalt concept of cognitive restructuring and field theory.
- Option C refers to mechanical habit formation.
- Option D relates to maturation and instinct.
