In the current review, we propose to look at curiosity from the goal systemic perspective and differentiate between curiosity as a motive/goal, which engenders various activities (means) aimed at satisfying it, and information-seeking behaviors which can, but do not have to be, driven by the curiosity motivation as such. We thus assume that people can adopt various behaviors in order to satisfy their curiosity. On the other hand, they can behave in a curious and inquisitive manner in order to satisfy ‘incurious’ motives (e.g. to obtain a reward or attain cognitive closure). We also analyze a special case in which the mere activity of information gathering and exploration becomes the goal in itself. Then, mere performance of this activity can be rewarding.

好奇心是目的和手段

在当前的审查中,我们建议从目标系统的角度看待好奇心,并区分好奇心是动机/目标,动机/目标产生了旨在满足它的各种活动(手段),而信息寻求行为可以但不具有受到好奇心动机的驱使。因此,我们假设人们可以采取各种行为来满足他们的好奇心。另一方面,他们可以以好奇和好奇的态度行事,以满足“好奇”的动机(例如获得奖励或实现认知封闭)。我们还分析了一种特殊情况,其中仅信息收集和探索活动本身就是目标。然后,仅执行此活动便会有所收获。
