About Conation
For most of the past century, researchers have focused on understanding and quantifying the cognitive and affective aspects of the mind while paying relatively little attention to the conative (or volitional) aspect. The conative part of the mind pertains to how an individual solves problems when given the freedom to act instinctively. Kolbe Corp has been the leader in research on conation for four decades.
