Question

The concept of insight learning was introduced by:

• A. Kohler
• B. Pavlov
• C. Skinner
• D. Thorndike

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Kohler

• The concept of insight learning was indeed introduced by Wolfgang Köhler, a German psychologist.

• Köhler's work with chimpanzees in the 1920s demonstrated that animals could learn through sudden insights or "aha!" moments, rather than through gradual trial and error.

• Köhler's classic example of insight learning is the story of Sultan, a chimpanzee who learned to use a stick to retrieve a banana that was out of reach.
