Question

Which of the following is not in agreement with the Inverted-U Hypothesis? Performance continually increases as arousal increases Arousal can be either too low or too high Top performance occurs at a moderate level of arousal All of the above are in agreement with the inverted-U hypothesis

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "Performance continually increases as arousal increases".

Explanation:

The Inverted-U hypothesys, so named because the shape it reflects on a graph, indicates that a very low or high level of arousal can be detrimental for the performance of a task. This means that the best position is an intermedite point of arousal, in which there is both a little of excitement and stress associated with the task.

Answer 2

Answer: Performance continually increases as arousal increases

Explanation:

According to the inverted-u hypothesis (Yerkes-Dodson law) performance rises as arousal levels rise, up to an optimum point, after which the person becomes over-aroused and their performance level decreases. Thus performance does not continually increase as arousal increases. Maximum performance is usually obtained at intermediate level of arousal, after that, performance starts dropping.
