Detailed explanation-1: -Eysenck’s theory therefore predicts that introverts require little or no external stimulation to reach an optimal level of cognitive performance, whereas extraverts require comparatively more external stimulation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eysenck’s theory argues strongly that biological predispositions towards certain personality traits combined with conditioning and socialization during childhood in order to create our personality. This interactionist approach may, therefore, be much more valid than either a biological or environmental theory alone.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to Eysenck’s theory of personality, extraverts’ cortical arousal at rest is lower compared to that of introverts. Scholars have thus hypothesized that extraverts should benefit from background music in cognitive tasks, whereas introverts’ performance should decline with music in the background.
