The Yerkes-Dodson law suggests that a moderate level of arousal leads to optimal performance. However, too much arousal can lead to decreased performance, while too little arousal can also lead to decreased performance. Mark's need for music on the assembly line suggests that he needs some level of arousal to stay engaged, but his need for quiet while building model airplanes suggests that too much arousal (in the form of external stimulation) would be detrimental to his performance.
