Detailed explanation-1: -Insight learning is the use of past experiences and reasoning to solve problems. Unlike operant conditioning, insight learning does not involve trial and error. Instead, an animal thinks through a solution to a problem based on previous experience. The solution often comes in a flash of insight.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insight Learning uses past experiences to reason and learn new behaviors to solve problems. An example of insight learning can be seen in the experiments of Wolfgang Kohler in the 1900s. He found that chimpanzees could use insight learning (as opposed to trial-and-error) to obtain a banana out of reach.

Detailed explanation-3: -Example of Insight behaviour: The chimpanzee first think that can’t reach the fruit. But after short period of scratching, the chimpanzee will move the largest box and pile he other smaller boxes on it and climb up to reach the fruit. So, he found the solution to a problem quite novel to him, using his insight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive learning.

Detailed explanation-5: -Insight learning(reasoning) It is the most advanced form of learning. from a rapid appreciation of relationships in which animals solve problems too quickly to have gone through a trial-and error processes. The animal seems to arrive at a solution by reasoning.
