Question

wolfgang kohler, a psychologist, worked at a primate research facility maintained by the prussian academy of sciences in the canary islands. he contributed what to insight? proved monkeys can only function with convergent thinking. proved monkeys would find novel and valuable solutions for getting food. proved monkeys would suffer irreparable harm is affection was withheld.

Explanation:

Wolfgang Köhler's work with primates (chimpanzees, in his classic studies) focused on insight learning. He observed that they could find novel ways (like stacking boxes or using sticks) to solve problems related to obtaining food, demonstrating insight rather than just trial - and - error. The first option is incorrect as his work showed they could use divergent/insightful thinking. The third option is related to attachment research (like Harlow's work with monkeys), not Köhler's.

Answer:

B. Proved monkeys would find novel and valuable solutions for getting food.
