Answer: Arousal theory

Explanation:

This theory explains that people or individuals always seeks to attain the optimal level of arousal and thus will perform actions that strives to maintain such height.

Arousal theory of motivation’s directly affects an individual performances and following Yerkes-Dodson Law, implies that higher levels of arousal will improve performance till it reaches the optimum height, after which performance start to drop with further extreme increase or decrease in arousal which will cause such individual to loose concentration in performing an action.

Kevin's behavior can best be explained by  arousal theory because his arousal levels was too high causing him to loose concentration and  perform badly.

Pavlov studied it with dogs. He realised that when a trainer fed them, dogs salivated. So, he presented the dogs with a "stimulus" ( the sound of a metronome) and when he gave the dogs food. After a few repetitions, when the dog listened to the stimulus, it salivated.
