Vocabulum *curiositas* adhiberi potest ad mores vel animi motus curiositatis significandos de cupiditate scientiae nuntiorumque adquirendorum. Curiositas ut mores animique motus per millennia vis agens putatur, non solum evolutionis humanae, sed innovationum in scientia, lingua, industria, negotii, omnibus quidem rebus culturae humanae.

Nonnullae theoriae scientificae curiositatem explicare conantur, praecipue inter quas theoria impigritatis curiositatis (de incertitudine deminuenda), theoria excitationis optimae (de excitatione augenda), et theoria neurobiologiae (de praemiis in tractibus mesolimbicis dopamino sensis amplificandis).
