{"pk":26840,"title":"A rational analysis of curiosity","subtitle":null,"abstract":"We present a rational analysis of curiosity, proposing that peo-ple’s curiosity is driven by seeking stimuli that maximize theirability to make appropriate responses in the future. This per-spective offers a way to unify previous theories of curiosityinto a single framework. Experimental results confirm ourmodel’s predictions, showing how the relationship between cu-riosity and confidence can change significantly depending onthe nature of the environment.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"curiosity; rational analysis; computational model"}],"section":"Talks: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/52d9h9cr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Rachit","middle_name":"","last_name":"Dubey","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California at Berkeley","department":""},{"first_name":"Thomas","middle_name":"L.","last_name":"Griffiths","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California at Berkeley","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26840/galley/16476/download/"}]}
