GUEST SPEAKER:
MIKE DEETSCH: SENIOR DIRECTOR OF LEARNING AND INTERPRETATION, TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART
"Research shows unequivocally that when people are curious about something, they learn more, and better. Daniel Berlyne (1954) first demonstrated this in the 1950s. He read people lists of facts, including some that were surprising to them, and led them to ask questions. Later, when asked to recall those lists, subjects remembered the items that had piqued their curiosity better than the others." - Susan Engel, The Case for Curiosity
