Behiviuor
Questions that were rated as more puzzeling, were remeberd more[1]
Exploratory behaviour will start without any stimulus[2].
The need to learn new thing is constantly working, and when there isn't any new stimuly, we are bored. So we constantly looking for new stimulations[3][4] [5][6]
knowledge gap
- Loewenstein[7] suggests that when individuals encounter novel, complex, or ambiguous stimuli, they may find there are discrepancies between information that is known and unknown—indicative of a “knowledge gap”.The perceived magnitude of such gaps are based on feeling-of-knowing (FOK) judgements, which are metacognitive estimates of one’s available (i.e.,retrievable) knowledge (Brown & McNeil], 1966; Eysenck, 1979; I-Iart, 1965).According to Loewenstein (1994), stronger FOI(s correspond with smaller perceived knowledge gaps, and result in feeling closer to figuring or finding out the desired knowledge (Loewenstein, 1994; Loewenstein, Adler, Behrens, & Gillis, I992). Based on Miller’s (1959) approach-gradient theory, which predicts that the intensity of motives increase as one approaches goal achievement,Loewenstein (I994) hypothesises that as FOI(s become stronger, knowledge gaps will seem smaller, and states of curiosity will intensify as individuals perceive themselves close to eliminating their knowledge discrepancy and the associated feelings of tension. In one study, Loewenstein et al. (1992) asked."[8]
Optimal stimulation/two process/plesure of expolration vs. anxiety
there is a balance between pleasre from explortory behiviour and anxiety form the unknowen, to blance beetwen novel seeking and geting into danger[9]. When students were asked question by an intimidating instructor, there questioned less[10]
CFD/CFI
Curiosty as Feeling Deprvation/Curiosty as Feeling Interest
CFD is correlated to anxiety, angar, depresion, lack of satisfaction. It is charactrised as "must know" and have more power to induce exploratory behavior. It will also be related to TMT.
CFI is corrolated to good feelings, like apriciation of beuty, humor and vitality. it is "nice to have" and has less power to induce explortory behviour. Curiosity as plesure[11][12]
It seems that most of the puplation in social networks are attracted by CFI, and that the more througly investigators and logican are dirven by CFD.
Brain Mechanisms
CFI is mediated by the mesolimbic dopaminergic system. CFD is derived by opoid activity in the neucleus acombinus.
- "Wanting is influenced by a variation in deprivation states, the presence of learned incentives for rewards, and the anticipated potential for a given stimulus to satisfy one’s desire based on past experience (Berridge, 1999; Berridge & Robinson, I998). Liking is somewhat more complex, and may vary due to the strength of relevant wanting states (e.g., strong vs. weak desire) and specific characteristics of stimuli such as sweetness. In humans, the extent to which novel sensory stimuli are liked may be influenced by the degree of their cognitive and perceptual interpretability—a quality referred to as “processing ease” or “fluency” (Reber & Schwarz, 2002; Reber, Winkielman, & Schwarz, 1998).

With repeated exposure, stimuli become progressively more interpretable, more easily understood, and therefore better liked."[13]
