One factor that is thought to have influenced the insightful learning displayed by Kohler's chimpanzees is that

A. Kohler had established a good relationship with the chimpanzees and they performed better for him than they would for other people

B. the chimpanzees may have had previous experience with sticks and climbing tasks, thereby predisposing them to solve such problems more readily than other problems

C. Kohler's experimenter expectations may have influenced the chimpanzees when solving the problem

D. the chimpanzees were more capable than was originally thought, and this enabled a quicker solution to the problem, but only because it was reinforced
