In this experiment he has tried to observe how chimpanzee solve a very simple problem.He kept a hungry chimpanzee in the cage and kepta bunch of bananas just outside the cage so that the chimpanzee can see it and he also kept a stick at the back portion of the cage. It was obvious that the chimpanzee tried very hard to reach the bananas by pushing his hands outside the cage, he tried with legs and so on. But he was not successful so he stopped doing any activity and sat down in the cage. Suddenly he saw the stick and so he took the stick, went infront of the cage and pulled the bananas towards it with the stick. In this way the chimpanzee succeeded in solving the problem by sudden insight when he saw the stick.
