The study investigated the nature of the flow state among Young adults. Flow is defined as pleasurable experiential state that occurs during full-capacity engagement in which an individual is performing at a level that is matched with the demands of the task. The participant completed a scale assessing dimensions of flow in an activity selected by them. Results show more cognitively demanding activities elicited higher levels of flow for those with higher fluid ability, and lower levels of flow for those with lower fluid ability. The pattern was reversed for activities that were low in demand. The data highlight the potential importance of considering motivational states such as flow in understanding cognitive optimization in adulthood.
