No mention of Kohler's other activities while on Tenerife? Like his covert work for the German government during WWI?
Didn't he do a lot more?
Could somebody add his perceptual experiment involving squint-glasses?
The Bouba/kiki effect cites Kohler as the creator of the experiment. There is no mention of it here. Kingturtle ( talk) 13:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
The Teuber with whom Koehler was first involved was actually named Eugen Teuber. When World War 1 finally ended, Koehler was able to return to Germany after having been interned on Tenerife Island for the duration. He brought a very bright chimpanzee named Sultan back to Germany and installed him in the Berlin Zoo where Eugen Teuber was a curator. The current wikipedia entry incorrectly uses the name of Eugen's son, Hans-Lukas Teuber who had only just been born in 1916. This fact could have been very easily checked by just googling on Hans-Lukas Teuber. Many decades later after World War 2, Hans-Lukas Teuber was first a professor at New York University and then he became the founding head of the department at MIT. The connection was maintained when Hans-Lukas Teuber hosted Wolfgang Koehler as a visitor to his laboratory and the favor was returned at Koehler's retirement home in New Hampshire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.210.151.36 ( talk) 19:28, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
The article says, "they had experienced an insight (also sometimes known as an “aha experience”)". This isn't Oprah; if a reader doesn't know what an insight is, he can follow the link. No need for childish vocabulary. Boldly deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iain.dalton ( talk • contribs) 20:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
"dismissal of Karl Planck, a well-known experimental physicist"
Um.... is this supposed to be Max Plank, mentioned in the paragraph before? Ehgarrick ( talk) 01:30, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
