"to like doing this new thing" does not really constitute passion, that's the weakest part of your hypothesis. perhaps what you're saying is, repatriation of doing something is strongly related to how successful one is at doing it

Voted to close because the question lacks sufficient definition and context. Is it a reinforcement learning question? A self-regulation question? An evolutionary psychology question?
