Detailed explanation-1: -E. Explanation: The Yerkes-Dodson law holds that a moderate amount of arousal usually produces the best performance (see pages 403-404 for more).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Yerkes-Dodson Law suggests that performance increases with mental arousal (stress) but only up to a point: when an individuals’ level of stress is too low or too high, their performance deteriorates.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Yerkes-Dodson law is a model of the relationship between stress and task performance. It proposes that you reach your peak level of performance with an intermediate level of stress, or arousal. Too little or too much arousal results in poorer performance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Research shows that moderate arousal is generally best; when arousal is very high or very low, performance tends to suffer (Yerkes & Dodson, 1908).
Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following describes the Yerkes-Dodson law? Simple tasks are performed best when arousal levels are relatively high, yet complex tasks are performed best when arousal levels are low.
