Autistic traits foster effective curiosity-driven exploration
F. Poli, M. Koolen, et al.
Curiosity-driven exploration was examined by testing university students (self- and other-reports of autistic traits) in a task where they learned characters' hiding patterns and could freely choose when to disengage. Using a hierarchical delta-rule model to track prediction errors and learning progress, the study found that lower other-reported insistence-on-same-ness was linked to early reliance on learning progress and less persistence, while higher scores showed later reliance and better performance. The research was conducted by Authors present in <Authors>.
