Kohler's Insight Revisited.
Windholtz, George
Teaching of Psychology, v12 n3 p165-67 Oct 1985
Psychology textbooks frequently present Wolfgang Kohler's two-stick experiment with chimpanzees as having demonstrated insight in learning. Studies that replicated Kohler's work support his findings but not his interpretation in terms of insightful solution. The uncritical inclusion of Kohler's insight interpretation in texts is not warranted in view of alternative interpretations. (Author/RM)
