Using art and aesthetics as context, we explore the notion that curiosity and creativity emanate from a single novelty-seeking mechanism and outline support for the idea. However, we also highlight the importance of learning progress tracking in exploratory action and advocate for a nuanced understanding that aligns novelty-seeking with learnability. This, we argue, offers a more comprehensive framework of how curiosity and creativity are related.
我们以艺术和美学为背景,探讨了好奇心和创造力是否源于单一的求新机制这一观点,并概述了对这一观点的支持。然而,我们也强调了在探索性行动中跟踪学习进度的重要性,并主张以一种与可学习性相协调的方式来理解求新机制。我们认为,这提供了一个更全面的框架,说明好奇心和创造力是如何相关的。
