The Drive for Knowledge - The Science of Human Information Seeking - Bok - Inbunden

\In this chapter we discuss the psychological function of 'the drive for sense-making,' or our innate desire to make sense of the world. We start by discussing why sense-making generates a drive, similar to those associated with the primary reinforcers of food, water, sleep, sex, shelter, and air. In our account, the drive for sense-making fills a critical gap in purely goal-oriented cognition by motivating us to continue investing in knowledge even when we cannot foresee exactly how it will benefit..
