Question

The inverted U theory, also known as the Yerkes-Dodson Law, suggests that performance increases with physiological or mental arousal, but only up to a point. When levels of arousal become too high, performance decreases. This creates an inverted U-shaped curve, indicating that optimal performance is achieved at a moderate level of arousal.
