Intrinsically Motivated Learning in Natural and Artificial Systems (2013, methodology): “For example, Harlow and coworkers (Harlow 1950; Harlow et al. 1950) reported that rhesus monkeys might spend long periods of time in trying to solve mechanical puzzles without any reward.”
Environmental challenge and animal agency. (2011, background): “We know, as argued above, that animals will engage in solving problems without any apparent form of external reward, and this suggests they may enjoy the process of learning itself (Harlow, 1950).”
The Measurement of Curiosity As a Feeling of Deprivation (2004, background): “Supportive of this hypothesis, a number of studies have demonstrated that when novel, complex, or ambiguous (curiosity-evoking) stimuli were presented to animals, they engaged in exploration without additional incentives (Berlyne, 1950, 1954; Dember, 1956; Harlow, 1950; Welker, 1956).”

Reinforcement Learning in non-stationary environments: An intrinsically motivated stress based memory retrieval performance (SBMRP) model (2014, background): “Harlow argued that an intrinsic manipulation drive is needed to explain why mammals persistently solve problems, such as finding routes through mazes, solving puzzles, seemingly without any external stimulation or reward.”
