Highest form of learning is__________________?
Correct answer: B. Insight learning
- A. Latent learning
- B. Insight learning
- C. Operant conditioning
- D. Instinct
Explanation
Insight learning occurs when an animal suddenly reorganises its understanding of a problem and reaches a solution, rather than relying only on repeated trial and error. It is therefore considered a higher form of learning than simple conditioning or instinctive behaviour. Operant conditioning is a likely distractor because it can produce complex learned behaviour, but it depends on reinforcement rather than sudden problem-solving insight.
