Arousal, a state of physiological and psychological activation, has a complex relationship with performance. According to the Yerkes-Dodson law, there's an optimal level of arousal for peak performance. Low arousal may lead to lack of interest or focus, while excessive arousal can cause anxiety and impair performance. Finding the right balance is crucial; moderate arousal enhances attention, motivation, and performance. This principle underscores the importance of understanding individual differences and situational factors in optimizing arousal levels for tasks, promoting an optimal state that enhances cognitive and motor performance.
