Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Along with mammal research on species such as chimpanzees, elephants, dogs and rats, researchers have also found insightful behaviour in various bird species including parrots, corvids (crows and ravens), and even songbirds. One popular problem-solving task involves string-pulling.

Detailed explanation-4: -Animals solve problems by trial-and-error or insight, or sometimes when peers are present, through social learning. In trial-and-error, reward for correct responses and lack of reward for incorrect responses gradually increases the probability of a correct response.

Detailed explanation-5: -Insight learning is a form of cognitive learning where animals use insight to accomplish something. Here are examples: A dog is in a room with a small gate to keep him from leaving. He pushes a box over to the gate in order to stand on it and jump over the gate.
