Kohlar developed

  • A.S-R bond theory
  • B.Insight theory
  • C.Field theory
  • D.Conditioning theory

Answer: B

Kohler, the Gestalt psychologist, developed insight theory from his experiments with chimpanzees on the island of Tenerife, in which the animals solved problems such as reaching bananas by suddenly seeing the relations between the objects. S-R bond theory is Thorndike's, field theory is Lewin's, and conditioning theory is Pavlov's or Skinner's. So the answer is insight theory. Kohler's chimpanzee Sultan joined two sticks to reach a banana outside the cage, after a period of apparent confusion followed by a sudden solution. Kohler used this to argue that learning involves perception of the whole situation, not blind trial and error.
