Curiosity is an unconscious pursuit of new knowledge. It is customary to call the curious one who is eager to find out the news and everything that surrounds and happens around.
Human curiosity can be compared to greed. Since both of these phenomena are aimed at obtaining things or information in order to satisfy. Man needs to develop, he must strive for knowledge of the new.
Sometimes people do not ask questions because of shyness, indecision, other reasons come from childhood. True, such people do not develop, their consciousness does not comprehend new information.
Curiosity and brain
Curiosity is the strongest basic impulse in a person. Scientists have explored the relationship between the brain and curiosity. Experiments were conducted on adolescents using an MRI system. During the study, it was revealed that when the phenomenon of curiosity occurs, the part of the brain that is responsible for feelings of satisfaction and pleasure begins to work actively. When the desired information is received, there is a feeling similar to joy, happiness from success, the same as when receiving money or treats. The brain begins to actively produce dopamine, the hormone of pleasure.
A thirst for knowledge
An interesting fact: if the student or student is curious, then, having received the answer to his question, he will remember it better and faster than the jagged, non-interesting material.
Rangantah conducted research and found that students remember better if they are interested. In a state of curiosity, the brain is also able to remember related information, even if it is random.
So you can use the curiosity of the child in order to master the educational material. For example, how to teach a student to count interest? It is necessary to solve problems with the purchase of a tablet, bicycle or something else that is interesting to the child, for example, with discounts in the store. In this format, training will be productive and fast.
Therefore, curiosity is an integral part in education and quality training.
What scientists are wondering about
Nevertheless, the topic of curiosity has not been fully explored. Scientists did not answer the question: why does a person feel pleasure from studying interesting or what is banned. Rangantah believes that curiosity is a phenomenon when the brain sends an inducing signal to overcome insecurity. In order to survive, you need to know the world around you.
The duration of the state of curiosity and of what it depends on remains unexplored.
That is why all people have a different manifestation of interest.
