Let’s say I’m concentrating equally much while learning something I find interesting and something I don’t, I’ll still learn the things I found more interesting better than the things I didn’t find interesting?

Everything in life is determined by the brain, and the brain wants to be happy. It does that by releasing chemicals that make your brain feel happy. Dopamine is the chemical responsible for this.
So when you do something, experience something that makes you happy or you find interesting, you release more dopamine and the brain is happy.
Your brain is very good at remembering what made you happy. it makes a connection that stores that ‘memory’.
So when you do activities around things that interest you, such as learning about an interesting topic, the brain knows there is a connection and releases dopamine, which in turn gives you a happy/comfortable feeling, so you will likely be doing/wanting more of it.
That is a super simplified version of it off course .. there are many more chemical processes going on and the brain is a supercomplex organic computer that processes things at superspeeds.
