Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -This relationship is known as Yerkes-Dodson law, which holds that a simple task is performed best when arousal levels are relatively high and complex tasks are best performed when arousal levels are lower.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why do different levels of “arousal” might be required for tasks of different difficulty? Moderate arousal would lead to optimal performance. (EX: when taking an exam it pays to be moderately aroused-alert but not trembling with nervousness). More difficult tasks require lower arousal for best performance.
Detailed explanation-4: -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 level are low.
