Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The video shows crows and ravens using insight to solve problems, such as bending a wire to obtain a piece of food. Insight involves the sudden realization of a solution to a problem without prior trial-and-error attempts, indicating a higher level of cognitive ability than simple trial-and-error learning (heuristic) or following a set of predetermined steps (algorithm). Concept formation, involving the classification of stimuli or situations based on shared characteristics, was not demonstrated in the video.
