Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social arousal facilitates dominant responses, meaning that whatever response is most likely to occur naturally (or that has been practiced the most) will be enhanced in a social setting. Easy tasks are more likely to have well-practiced dominant responses, whereas difficult, analytical, or new tasks may require more cognitive effort and thus be less affected by social arousal. Therefore, social arousal should boost performance on easy tasks.
