Kohler's experiment involved chimpanzees being presented with a problem (a desirable object out of reach) and observing their behavior as they attempted to solve it. Kohler concluded that the chimps were able to demonstrate insight, which involves the sudden realization of a solution to a problem. The specific actions that the chimps took in order to obtain the fruit - jumping, giving up, seizing a box, dragging it under the object, mounting it, and then taking down the fruit - were all fueled by their ability to gain insight into the problem and realize a solution.
