Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain and interpret the inverted-U theory of arousal and its impact on performance, including drawing and labelling a graph.

Show transcript
The inverted-U theory illustrates that performance improves with arousal up to an optimal point and then declines. The inverted-U graph shows performance on the y-axis, arousal on the x-axis, with a curve shaped like an upside down U. Optimal performance occurs at a moderate level of arousal. Arousal levels too high or too low can impair performance. Optimal arousal levels differ according to whether the skill being performed is gross or fine.
