Are you looking for a noun meaning a person with a long attention span, (most if not all candidates will probably be metaphoric / idiomatic / colloquial), or an adjective describing such a person (colloquial, or some domain-specific term that might be used by psychologists, for example)?

Up-voted, if you are, indeed, looking for a single word (noun) description. A 'focused' person, would describe them, but I am at a loss to think of a single noun.
