Question

the findings of wolfgang kohler oppose the statements of behaviorists, because the chimp in his study: exhibited more than simple reward/punishment behaviors. displayed behaviors that were influenced by their environment. received food as a reinforcer. demonstrated reflexive responses.

Explanation:

Wolfgang Kohler's work on chimpanzees (like the "insight learning" experiments) showed that animals could solve problems through cognitive processes (like understanding relationships in the environment) rather than just simple stimulus - response (reward/punishment) behaviors which behaviorists emphasized. Behaviorists focused on observable behaviors shaped by rewards and punishments. The option about environment - influenced behaviors is too broad (behaviorists also considered environment in a simple stimulus - response way). Receiving food as a reinforcer is a behaviorist concept. Demonstrating reflexive responses is also more in line with behaviorist or basic biological views, not opposing behaviorists.

Answer:

Exhibited more than simple reward/punishment behaviors.
