According to the yerkes-dodson law, the relationship between arousal and performance can be described by a(n) ____.?

a. ?positive linear function (more arousal leads to better performance)

b. ?positive exponential function (more arousal leads to better and better performance; a lot of arousal leads to tremendously good performance)

c. ?inverted u-shaped function (more arousal leads to better performance, but only up to a point; too much arousal can hinder performance)

d. ?negative linear function (less arousal leads to better performance)

Respuesta :

I think the correct answer is C. According to the yerkes-dodson law, the relationship between arousal and performance can be described by an inverted u-shaped function (more arousal leads to better performance, but only up to a point; too much arousal can hinder performance). The said law addresses how arousal affects task performance. The graph would have a maximum point or a peak where it is the maximum arousal that one could achieve.
