Abstract

Although creativity and curiosity can be similarly construed as knowledge-building processes, their underlying motivation is fundamentally different. Specifically, curiosity drives organisms to seek information that reduces uncertainty so that they can make a better prediction about the world. On the contrary, creative processes aim to connect distant pieces of information, maximizing novelty and utility.

新奇感激发创造力。好奇心是由不确定性激发的。
虽然创造力和好奇心可以被理解为类似的知识积累过程,但它们背后的动机却有着本质的不同。具体来说,好奇心驱使生物去寻找能减少不确定性的信息,从而对世界做出更好的预测。相反,创造性过程旨在将遥远的信息连接起来,最大限度地提高新颖性和实用性。
