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: -For example, learning insights might give a trainer information about engagement drops during certain points in an online course. This could mean that learners are not connecting with or absorbing the materials.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insight learning derived from an experiment conducted by Wolfgang Kohler. Kohler placed a banana outside of the cage of a hungry chimpanzee. He gave the chimpanzee two sticks to try to retrieve the banana. The chimpanzee was unsuccessful using both sticks.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
