The Novelty Seeking Model (NSM) places {\textquotedblleft}novelty{\textquotedblright} at center stage in characterizing the mechanisms behind curiosity. We argue that the NSM{\textquoteright}s conception of novelty is too broad, obscuring distinct constructs. More critically, the NSM underemphasizes triggers of curiosity that better unify these constructs and that have received stronger empirical support: those that signal the potential for useful learning.
