Kohler and Insight Learning
- Insight learning was first researched by Wolfgang Kohler (1887–1967).
- Kohler's most famous study on insight learning involved Sultan the chimpanzee.
- When we solve a problem through insight, we often have a so-called aha or eureka moment.
- Insight should not be confused with heuristics.
- While heuristics are gradually shaped by experience, insight is not.
-
Problem-Solving
- Insight phenomenology is a sudden understanding of a problem, or a strategy that aids in solving problems.
- Thus, insight is a product of nothing more than ordinary thinking.
- The Neo-Gestaltist view argues that insight problem-solvers show poor ability to predict their success, and do not feel positively better as they near the solution of an insight-problem.
- This would support the Gestaltist belief that there is something special about insightful problem-solving, as opposed to non-insightful and routine problem solving, where one experiences positive feelings as one nears a solution.
- The Three-Process view argues that there are three different kinds of insights:
-

- Final conclusions (based on the insights gathered from data collected) that effectively meet the initial objectives of the research
