Medical Term:
insight learning
Definition: the grasp of the solution to a problem without the intervening series of the trial and error steps that are associated with most types of learning (a monkey housed behind the bars of a cage who, without proceeding through countless hours of futile attempts with one stick or the other, fits two sticks together to retrieve a banana outside the distance measured by either stick alone).
