  • In one experiment, Kohler put a chimpanzee Sultan inside a cage and a banana was hung from the roof of the cage. A box was placed inside the cage. The chimpanzee tried to reach the banana by jumping but could not succeed. Suddenly, he got an idea and used the stick as a jumping platform by placing it just below the hanging banana.

    In other experiment, Kohler made this problem more difficult. Now it required two or three boxes to reach the banana. Moreover, the placing of one box over the other required different specific arrangements. In a more complicated experiment, banana was placed outside the cage of the chimpanzee. Two sticks, one larger than the other, were placed inside the cage.

    One was hollow at one end so that the other stick could be thrust into it to form a longer stick.

    The banana was so kept that it could not be picked up by one of the sticks. The chimpanzee first tried these sticks one after the other but failed. Suddenly, he got a bright idea. The animal joined the two sticks together and reached the banana. In these experiments, Kohler used many different chimpanzees. Sultan, who was the most intelligent of Kohler’s chimpanzees, could solve all the problems.

    Other chimpanzees could solve the problems only when they saw Sultan solving them.

  • Educational Implication of the Theory of Insightful Learning : This theory brings the following important facts into limelight : The whole is greater than the parts and, therefore, the situation should be viewed as a whole. The use of blind fumbling and mechanical trial and error should be minimized. The learner should try to see relevant relationships and act intelligently.

    The purpose or motive plays the central role in the learning process. Based on the appeal of this theory, teachers are required to pay attention to the following aspects. Subject matter (learning material) should be presented in Gestalt form. While teaching the topic, parts of a flowering plant or flower, it should not be started by presenting the different parts.

    • Initially the plant or flower as a whole should be presented before them and later on the parts should be emphasized. The greater contribution of the insight theory of learning is that it has made learning an intelligent task requiring mental abilities instead of blind fumbling and automatic responses to specific stimuli.
