summaryThe goal of this talk is to discuss the potential impact of motivation on variations in cognitive performance. Using examples such as IQ tests and Theory of Mind tests, I will argue that the impact of motivation on performance is a important source of variance that can act as a strong confound when comparing clinical and non clinical populations. To conclude, I will briefly present the "willpower" theory of motivation and discuss some of its limits.
