One way you can think about this is as resolving uncertainty. There's a sweet spot – if you're really uncertain you don't know what to do, and if you're completely certain there's nothing to add.

It's in the region of medium uncertainty where you have both the possibility of an answer and the motivation to contribute. This region is where the best learning happens. Lots of demonstrations of this but my personal favourite comes from the infant attention literature: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0036399
