Insight theory of learning is also known as:
Gestalt Theory
The correct answer is Gestalt Theory.
Insight learning was proposed by Gestalt psychologists, chiefly Wolfgang Köhler, from his chimpanzee (Sultan) experiments: the learner perceives the whole problem and the solution appears suddenly. Hence insight theory is also called the Gestalt theory of learning.
Constructivism (Piaget, Vygotsky) stresses active building of knowledge, social learning theory (Bandura) stresses observation and imitation, and motivation theory explains the drive behind behaviour.
Short trick: Insight = Gestalt = 'whole' perception (Köhler, Koffka, Wertheimer).
