What are examples of insight learning theory?

Answer 1

An example of insight learning is a monkey is in a barred cage who, hours upon hours attempts with a stick tries to get a banana outside the cage. Realizing after a while that if he takes a second stick he's able to grasp the banana.

Answer 2

Insight learning theory was proposed by Gestalt psychologist Wolfgang Köhler. One famous example is Köhler's study on chimpanzees using problem-solving tasks, where the chimpanzees exhibited sudden understanding of the solution rather than trial-and-error learning. Another example is how humans can suddenly grasp a solution or understanding of a problem without gradual progression, indicating the role of cognitive restructuring in learning.
