Ss were allowed to press a key to produce tachistoscopic exposures of visual figures. The number of responses was used as a measure of the intensity of curiosity aroused by a particular figure. The following properties of figures increased curiosity: incongruity, surprisingness, relative entropy, and absolute entropy." Theoretical questions raised by the concept of a curiosity drive, alternative ways of accounting for the phenomena, and data obtained from using the same experimental technique with children are discussed." 23 references.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
