Abstract
The study investigated how the three cognitive motivators: the Need for cognition, intrinsic motivation, and epistemic curiosity, predict the frequency of the state of hyperfocus. The study also checks for any association between all the cognitive motivators tested in the study. In addition, the paper also looks at the existence of hyperfocus in non -ADHD patients. 375 participants, with a mean age of 19.76 years took part in the research by filling in the survey. The survey consisted of different scales. It was concluded that deprivation sensitivity and intrinsic motivation predicted the frequency of the state of hyperfocus. In addition, a positive correlation was found between all the cognitive motivators. However, the strength of each association between the cognitive motivators differed. The strengths, limitations, and future directions are discussed in the paper as well.
