After a period of inaction, the chimp suddenly grabbed the stick in the cage, and though this was a problem the chimpanzee had not seen before, he poked it through the cage, and dragged the bananawithin reach. This example demonstrates which of the following concepts:
A
Insight
B
Cognition
C
Operant conditioning
D
Observational learning
E
Latent learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In one experiment, Köhler placed bananas outside Sultan’s cage and two bamboo sticks inside his cage which needed to be put together to reach the bananas. Köhler demonstrated the solution to Sultan by putting his fingers into the end of one of the sticks.

Detailed explanation-2: -He concluded from the experiments that there was a correlation between intelligence and brain development. Köhler was very vocal in the psychological community and took stances against both introspection and behaviorism.

Detailed explanation-3: -In one experiment Köhler placed a banana outside the cage of a hungry chimpanzee, Sultan, and gave the animal two sticks, each too short for pulling in the food but joinable to make a single stick of sufficient length.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, it is concluded that through his experiment Kohler wanted to prove that learning is the perception of a whole situation.
