"We think there's a little more of a selective process going on with curiosity." ~ Mary Whatley No surprise: curiosity changes over the lifespan. Yes surprise: not in the way you might imagine. There are some advantages to aging... Mary Whatley, PhD, studies motivated memory, aging and curiosity. She joins me to explore trait versus state curiosity; her recent research on increasing state curiosity as we age; the role of motivation and value of reflection; our own curiosity cost/benefit analyses; and why a good reviewer is a great thing.
