See the technical phrasing
Humans are more likely to select new environments for exploration when those environments offer higher expected learning progress and greater perceptual novelty, with each unit increase in expected learning progress associated with a 27% increase in selection odds (OR = 1.27, 95% CI [1.07, 1.51]) and each unit increase in perceptual novelty associated with a 139% increase in selection odds (OR = 2.39, 95% CI [1.81, 3.19]), indicating that both factors independently influence exploratory decision-making.
