Detailed explanation-1: -Insight learning was defined by Thorpe (2) as “the sudden production of a new adaptive response not arrived at by trial behavior or as the solution of a problem by the sudden adaptive reorganization of experience.” An early claim of insight learning was Tolman’s maze-navigating rats (3).
