== Curiosity-driven behavior ==
Curiosity-driven behavior is often defined as behavior through which knowledge is gained – a form of exploratory behavior. It therefore encompasses all behaviors that provide access to or increase sensory information. Berlyne<ref name=":Berlyne"/> divided curiosity-driven behavior into three categories: [[orienting response]]s, locomotor exploration, and investigatory responses or investigatory manipulation. Previously, Berlyne<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Berlyne DE | title = Uncertainty and conflict: a point of contact between information-theory and behavior-theory concepts | journal = Psychological Review | volume = 64, Part 1 | issue = 6 | pages = 329–339 | date = November 1957 | pmid = 13505970 | doi = 10.1037/h0041135 }}</ref> suggested that curiosity also includes verbal activities, such as asking questions, and symbolic activities, consisting of internally fueled mental processes such as thinking ("[[Epistemology|epistemic]] exploration").
