Exploratory Behavior in Children
Psychological Reports, 196860 children representing equally two age groups (2nd and 6th graders) and three ability groups (IQs of 92–108, 112–128, and 132+) served as Ss in studies of the effects of stimulus characteristics on exploratory behavior and the effect of novelty on immediate and delayed recall. In Exp. 1, significant effects were obtained for complexity, abstractness,

Optimal Stimulation Level-Exploratory Behavior Models
Journal of Consumer Research, 1984Empirical and theoretical ambiguities in Raju's general framework for explaining consumer exploratory behavior are examined with two alternative Optimal Stimulation Level (OSL) models. Results from two replicated studies using causal modeling suggest that OSL does not act as a mediating construct.

Conjugate reinforcement of infant exploratory behavior
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1969Abstract The operant response rate of 10-week-old infants tripled within the first 6 minutes of conjugate reinforcement of foot thrusts, whereas controls receiving identical but noncontingent visual and somesthetic stimulation did not alter response rate throughout the experimental session.

Aesthetic Complexity and Exploratory Behavior
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1975To test the hypothesized relationship between exploratory behavior and stimulus complexity, 15 paintings comprising three levels of complexity were derived from ratings by 30 Ss. A further 30 Ss were requested to view the compositions for as long as they wished, and a third group of 30 Ss were asked to write any questions they might have in response ...

Cholecystokinin reduces exploratory behavior in mice
Physiology & Behavior, 1981Abstract The role of cholecystokinin (CCK) in mediating spontaneous behaviors in mice was analyzed, using a video-tracking, computer-assisted animal behavior monitoring system. Intraperitoneal administration of cholecystokinin octapeptide decreased investigation of environmental objects and interactions with a female mouse, while increasing the ...

Locomotor and Exploratory Behavior
2004AbstractRat exploratory behavior includes motor, locomotor, motivational, and cognitive aspects; it consists of a stimulating combination of stochastic and lawful elements. As technology improves, it becomes increasingly more accessible for data acquisition and analysis.

Method for Studying Exploratory Behavior in Infants
Science, 1962An experimental crib has been designed for use in studying the effect of visual feedback upon the exploratory behavior of the human infant. It can be easily adapted to older children, to some animals, and to problems other than the development of exploratory behavior.

Exploratory Behavior or Curiosity
1981As mentioned in Three/IV/3, stimulus selection through learning occurs much more frequently and in a greater number of organisms than does the selection of behavior patterns. Only in species with a very highly differentiated central nervous system, and even among these only in situations of utmost stress (Three/IV/6), does the animal perform a great ...

Exploratory experiments in programmer behavior
International Journal of Computer & Information Sciences, 1976The techniques of cognitive psychological experimentation can help resolve specific issues in programming and explore the broader issues of programmer behavior. This paper describes the methodological questions of such experimentation and presents two exploratory experiments: a memorization task and a comparison of the arithmetic and logical IF ...

Enhancement of Exploratory Behavior by Strychnine Sulfate
Psychological Reports, 1968An experiment was conducted to study the effect of strychnine sulfate on the exploratory behavior of male, Wistar rats in an open field. The number of times S reared in a stimulus square and the number of stimuli to which a S reared were recorded for both experimental and control Ss.
