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.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Wolfgang Köhler's work with primates (chimpanzees, often generalized to primates/monkeys in summaries) involved insight learning experiments. He observed that they could solve problems (like getting food) by having sudden insight, finding novel solutions (e.g., stacking boxes to reach bananas). The first option is incorrect (convergent thinking is not the focus, and his work showed insight/divergent - like problem - solving). The third option relates to Harlow's work on attachment, not Köhler. So the correct option is the one about monkeys finding novel solutions for food.
