Who among the following is not a cognitive gestalt psychologist ?

  • A.Tolman
  • B.Lewin
  • C.Kohler
  • D.Wertheimer

Answer: A

The person who is not a cognitive gestalt psychologist is Tolman.

Lewin, Kohler and Wertheimer belong to the Gestalt school, which stressed insight and the organisation of the whole field. Wertheimer founded it, Kohler studied insight in apes, and Lewin developed field theory.

Tolman was a behaviourist who brought cognitive ideas such as cognitive maps and expectancy into behaviourism, and is not classed among the Gestalt psychologists in the key.
