Abstract
Proposed work aims to determinate cognitive and metacognitive aspects of motivational processes which represent the basis of technology acceptance and usage by the people of different age groups. Research focus is on the interrelation between participants’ age and cognitive abilities, their cognitive motivation (need for cognition) and metamemory (assessment of their own memory) as well as their results in usage, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of technology. Correlation analysis of proposed variables, determination of main predictors for technology acceptance makes strong foundation for setting up research problems. Understanding main predictors of technology acceptance is emphasized as important research field. Proposed methodology should empirically determine predictors which affect decision on using technology. Results show significant correlations among proposed variables and a new modification of the original Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is proposed incorporating significant predictors of motivational variables. At the end scientific and practical contributions are presented as well as limitations of present study and possible future research.References
