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: Performance continually increases as arousal increases

Step-by-step 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.

Answer 2

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

Step-by-step 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.
