Metrics for Explainable AI: Challenges and Prospects (2018, background): “"Epistemic curiosity" is the general desire for knowledge, a motive to learn new ideas, resolve knowledge gaps, and solve problems, even though this may entail effortful cognitive activity (Berlyne, 1960, 1978; Loewenstein, 1994; see also Litman, 2008; 2010). Stimulus novelty, surprisingne”
Information seeking, curiosity and attention: computational and neural mechanisms (2013, neutral): “To explain such behaviors and the high degree of motivation associated with them, it seems necessary to assume that the brain generates intrinsic rewards related to learning or acquiring information (Berlyne 1960).”
Active learning of inverse models with intrinsically motivated goal exploration in robots (2013, positive): “Two communities of researchers, the first one in reinforcement learning [115, 96, 12, 100], the second one in developmental robotics [48, 21, 75, 77, 95], formalized, implemented and experimented several mechanisms based on the concept of intrinsic motivation (sometimes called curiosity-driven learn”
The strategic student approach for life-long exploration and learning (2012, background): “To realize such a developmental exploration, mechanisms of intrinsically motivated exploration and learning were introduced [19], [20], [22] modeling aspects of human spontaneous exploration and motivation [23]–[25].”
Understanding schema incongruity as a process in advertising: Review and future recommendations (2013, background): “The initial exposure to incongruity is one type of stimulation, but another set of stimulation rises after solution is found to the problem during the resolution stage (Berlyne 1960).”
Logo design in marketing communications: Brand logo complexity moderates exposure effects on brand recognition and brand attitude (2016, background): “Once a stimulus is stored in the consumer brain, it is easier to retrieve frommemory; this effect is assumed to be stronger for low attention stimuli (Berlyne 1960; Robertson 1989).”
I’m Proud of It: Consumer Technology Appropriation and Psychological Ownership (2015, neutral): “Optimum Stimulation Level (OSL) refers to the optimal level of stimulation that a person strives to establish or maintain (Berlyne, 1960; Mehrabian and Russell, 1974; Zuckerman et al., 1964).”
A social network as information: The effect of system generated reports of connectedness on credibility on Twitter (2012, background): “Risk generally creates uncertainty (Weick, 1995), which motivates people to seek information in order to deal with that uncertainty (Berlyne, 1960; Heath & Gay, 1997), and media provide much of that information (Heath et al., 1995; Murch, 1971).”
The Interestingness of Images (2013, background): “In his seminal work Berlyne [2] introduced four variables affecting interest: novelty, uncertainty, conflict and complexity.”
Students’ engagement profiles in mathematics according to learning environment dimensions: Developing an evidence base for best practice in mathematics education (2017, background): “We conceptualize it as epistemic curiosity; a desire for knowledge that solves intellectual problems (Litman, 2008), and fundamental human motivator associated with achievement (Berlyne, 1960).”
Automated Curriculum Learning by Rewarding Temporally Rare Events (2018, background): “perceived produce a high stimulus; thus novel situations that yet lie within our current understanding are highly rewarding [5, 16].”
Towards a neuroscience of active sampling and curiosity (2018, neutral): “…inference and information demand in cognitive psychology and computer science 4,9–11 , studies of curiosity in personality and affective psychology 12–15 , work on child development and education 2,16–20 , experimental and theoretical considerations of information demand in economics 21–23 , and…”
Are meat substitutes liked better over time? A repeated in-home use test with meat substitutes or meat in meals (2013, background): “Variety seeking is a means to increase stimulation to the individually preferred level (Berlyne, 1960), which may occur when the level of stimulation is too low, as in the case of boredom.”
Bestial boredom: a biological perspective on animal boredom and suggestions for its scientific investigation (2017, background): “Taking a different approach, monotony causes many species to seek novelty, even novel stimuli they would normally avoid (reviewed in Berlyne, 1960; Kirkden, 2000; Mason et al., 2013; Stevenson, 1983).”
