A rational analysis of curiosity

2017-05-11 · Rachit Dubey, Thomas L. Griffiths

We present a rational analysis of curiosity, proposing that people's curiosity is driven by seeking stimuli that maximize their ability to make appropriate responses in the future. This perspective offers a way to unify previous theories of curiosity into a single framework. Experimental results confirm our model's predictions, showing how the relationship between curiosity and confidence can change significantly depending on the nature of the environment. Please refer to https://psyarxiv.com/wg5m6/ for a more updated version of this manuscript with a more detailed modeling section with extensive experiments.

Curiosity as Linguistic Intervention: Using LLM Tutoring Dialogues to Influence Exploratory Learning Behavior

2026-06-21 · Gevindu Ganganath, Pasindu Bolonghege, Qianru Lyu, Pradeep Varakantham 외 arxiv

Large Language Models (LLMs) provide a new opportunity to study how language shapes exploratory cognition because conversational strategies can be systematically manipulated at inference time. We introduce CURIOBOT, a fr…

The Curious Case of Curiosity across Human Cultures and LLMs

2025-10-14 · Angana Borah, Zhijing Jin, Rada Mihalcea arxiv

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have expanded their role in human interaction, yet curiosity -- a central driver of inquiry -- remains underexplored in these systems, particularly across cultural contexts…
