Question

10 mark for review which scenario below best depicts insight learning? a laramie suddenly realized that he could put some of his groceries in a cabinet after repeatedly failing to fit them into a pantry. b kyler audited a physics class and was not required to be formally tested on the material. however, when kylers mother asked him a tough question about physics he was able to answer it correctly. c marley screamed when she saw her neighbors dog after watching her father scream in fear around dogs. d karla never tried to leave the house in the middle of the night again after her parents grounded her for sneaking out of the house.

Explanation:

Insight learning involves a sudden realization or understanding to solve a problem, without trial - and - error learning.

• Option A: Laramie repeatedly failed to fit groceries in the pantry and then suddenly realized he could use a cabinet. This shows a sudden insight to solve the problem of storing groceries.
• Option B: Kyler answering a physics question after auditing a class is more about acquiring knowledge through exposure, not insight learning.
• Option C: Marley screaming at a dog after seeing her father do so is observational learning, not insight.
• Option D: Karla not sneaking out after being grounded is operant conditioning (learning from punishment), not insight.

Answer:

A. Laramie suddenly realized that he could put some of his groceries in a cabinet after repeatedly failing to fit them into a pantry.
