A reflection on the method of research into curiosity
Robert Henman
This article reviews literature on some of the methods used in current research on human curiosity and attempts to reveal some of the problems related to objectivity, naïve realism, positivism and scientific verification. It raises also the question as to what scientists mean by empirical.
