The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The effects of task difficulty, novelty and the size of the search space on intrinsically motivated exploration (2014, background): “…have opposing effects and are integrated with different relative weights to achieve efficient exploration in a range of contexts (e.g., Oudeyer and Kaplan, 2007; Düzel et al., 2010; Kidd et al., 2012; Gottlieb et al., 2013; Mirolli and Baldassarre, 2013; Foley et al., 2014; Taffoni et al., 2014).”
States of curiosity modulate hippocampus-dependent learning via the dopaminergic circuit (2014, background): “The present findings have potential implications for understanding memory deficits in the elderly and in patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders that affect dopaminergic transmission (Chowdhury et al., 2013; Düzel et al., 2010; Goto and Grace, 2008; Lisman et al., 2011).”
GRAIL: A Goal-Discovering Robotic Architecture for Intrinsically-Motivated Learning (2016, background): “research in the field of neuroscience [26], [64], [65], [95] has highlighted some of the neural mechanisms that seem to be involved in IM processes.”
Dopamine in motivational control: rewarding, aversive, and alerting (2010, result): “Consistent with these findings, surprising and novel events evoke DA release in downstream structures (Lisman and Grace, 2005) and activate DA-related brain circuits in a manner that shapes reward processing (Zink et al., 2003; Davidson et al., 2004; Duzel et al., 2010).”
