Curiosity is aroused when we`re presented with an "information gap." It`s a sensation of deprivation: A present`s wrapping deprives us of the knowledge of what`s in it, and as a result we become curious about its contents. But to feel curiosity, we have to be conscious that something`s being hidden.
George LowNASA administrator and 14th President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute 10 June 1926 — 17 July 1984 |
