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).”
Interest development: Arousing situational interest affects the growth trajectory of individual interest (2017, background): “…the arousal of situational interest by appropriate precipitating events, such as puzzles or problems, is hard-wired and therefore—in principle—affecting every individual (Berlyne, 1954, 1962, 1978; Kang, Scharmann, Kang, & Noh, 2010; Kang et al., 2009; Loewenstein, 1994; Rotgans & Schmidt, 2014b).”
Learner Engagement in Blended Learning Environments: A Conceptual Framework (2019, background): “Berlyne (1978) posited that curiosity, resulting from subjective uncertainty, may generate “exploratory behavior aimed at resolving or partially mitigating the uncertainty” (p. 98).”
Self-Efficacy and Interest: Experimental Studies of Optimal Incompetence. (2003, background): “As noted earlier, I view interest as a basic emotion, synonymous with the lay usage of curiosity ( Berlyne, 1978 ); others consider interest in terms of preferences and attitudes (Evans, 1965; Lent et al., 1994), or in terms of general approach motivation.”
Homo Curious: Curious or Interested? (2019, background): “In describing curiosity, Berlyne (1960, 1978) coined the term “collative variables” to describe factors that can trigger human curiosity, including novelty, incongruity, complexity, and uncertainty.”
Artistic Training and Interest in Visual Art: Applying the Appraisal Model of Aesthetic Emotions (2006, background): “This shift is seen even in Berlyne’s time, such as when he considered whether the collative variables can affect preference without affecting arousal (Berlyne, 1971b) and when he tried to reconcile the heterogeneity of arousal measures with the notion of curiosity as a drive state (Berlyne, 1978).”
A Region of Proximal Learning model of study time allocation (2005, background): “It also relates to the studies of attention to degrees of novelty that Berlyne (1978) described in his early investigations of curiosity and interest.”
Hedonic Tendencies and the Online Consumer: An Investigation of the Online Shopping Process (2011, background): “Data were consistent with the arguments that exploratory behavior is related to trait-based hedonic desires, desires motivated by such things as exciting and novel experiences, variation and change, and curiosity (Berlyne 1978; Baumgartner and Steenkamp 1996).”
Affective outcomes in superficial and intimate interactions: Roles of social anxiety and curiosity (2006, methodology): “Building on the work of Berlyne (1971, 1978) , Spielberger and Starr (1994) observed that states of anxiety and curiosity are co-activated during novel and challenging activities as a function of the intensity of ongoing stimuli.”
The psychology of curiosity: A review and reinterpretation. (1994, background): “For example, Berlyne (1978) reported that "since about 1950, there has been a reversal.”
Dynamics of affective states during complex learning (2012, background): “…disequilibrium in learning and problem solving has a long history in psychology that spans the developmental, social, and cognitive sciences (Berlyne, 1978; Chinn & Brewer, 1993; Collins, Warnock, Aiello, & Miller, 1975; Festinger, 1957; Graesser & Olde, 2003; Laird, Newell, & Rosenbloom,…”
Emotional Responses to Art: From Collation and Arousal to Cognition and Emotion (2005, background): “Although Berlyne (1960, 1967, 1978) changed his ideas on the psychobiology of curiosity, he retained arousal as a mediator between the collative variables and the ensuing response (see Silvia, 2006, chap.”
Introducing the construct curiosity for predicting job performance (2013, background): “Actually, Berlyne (1978) considered diverse curiosity to be initiated by feelings of boredom and directed toward stimuli that are more arousing, such as entertainment or play.”
Interest and Interests: The Psychology of Constructive Capriciousness (2001, background): “Berlyne (1971, 1974b, 1978) and other researchers later revised core assumptions of this theory.”
