We also propose an operational definition of hyperfocus for researchers to use moving forward. Using this foundation, we provide constructive criticism about previously used methods and analyses. In this paper, we review how hyperfocus (as well as possibly related phenomena) has been defined and measured, the challenges associated with hyperfocus research, and assess how hyperfocus affects both neurotypical and clinical populations. Moreover, some studies do not refer to hyperfocus by name, but describe processes that may be related. Thus, there is no single consensus to what constitutes hyperfocus. In many cases, hyperfocus goes undefined, relying on the assumption that the reader inherently knows what it entails.
Hyperfocus, though ostensibly self-explanatory, is poorly defined within the literature. We propose that hyperfocus is a critically important aspect of cognition, particularly with regard to clinical populations, and that it warrants significant investigation.
Hyperfocus is most often mentioned in the context of autism, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but research into its effect on cognitive and neural functioning is limited. i just want to be able to sit for two minutes without having 50 different racing thoughts in my head.‘Hyperfocus’ is a phenomenon that reflects one’s complete absorption in a task, to a point where a person appears to completely ignore or ‘tune out’ everything else. i just want to be able to do my work when i want to. im not sure if its gotten worse since i started medication, or if im just getting more and more fed up with my brain. to be clear, i was exactly this way before even taking any medication before. seriously? is this the same sort of struggles you guys have when you say "distractions" or is there something else wrong with me? (like could this be ocd and not add?) is this considered hyperfocus? i know these are things i shouldnt be doing at that moment but i just cant stop myself. yesterday i did the same thing only i spent two hours planning out my courses for every semester until i graduate. Instead, i spent all of my time i was supposed to be doing the assignment (about 1.5 hours) cleaning out and organizing my google docs because its been bothering me. For example, i literally only had one school assignment i had to do today, and it was an easy one that would've taken me about twenty minutes. My concern is that I spend so, so, so much time every day of my life on stupid shit i dont want to be doing. yesterday i had an appointment and we increased to 20mg XR generic adderall. i noticed life being a bit easier when taking it, but definitely not anything life changing or really even worth noting. we tried ritalin, but it gave me bad nausea so we switched to 10 mg XR generic adderal around the beginning of december. im 18 now (female) i figured i had inattentive add last january and got diagnosed in september (by a cheap one page sheet from a gd), after starting college in july and quickly realizing i would never be able to graduate without getting some sort of help. So for a little bit of background, ive had a lot of anxiety, depression, ocd, and sensitivity issues since i was a very young child.
