“…KB intrinsic motivations derive from comparisons between pre-existing and newly acquired information and are well-documented in the animal world (e.g., [1,33,34,3,35,6,5,36,37,8]). In artificial agents, KB signals of novelty, diversity, or prediction error broaden exploration when provided alongside extrinsic rewards [13,15,38,16,39] or even on their own ( [14,11], see [40] for review). However, human curiosity is often driven towards stimuli of intermediate complexity [41,42,7], rather than extremes.…”
