| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | evidences arousal theory; the more complex a task, the lower level of arousal that can be tolerated without interference before the performance deteriorates; ex. used in class-driving to school, driving angry, finding a new location, boiling an egg | 6 sets | |
| 2 | theory arguing that for performance to be optimal, the amount of arousal required must be optimized. too much or too little stimulation will result in a poorer performance. | 3 sets | |
| 3 | performance improves as a function of anxiety up to a threshold beyond which there is a fall off in performance | 2 sets | |
| 4 | the theory that a degree of psychological arousal helps performance, but only to a point. | 2 sets | |
| 5 | inverted u-shaped relation between arousal on the one hand, and affect and performance on the other | 2 sets | |
| 6 | a statement that performance is a curvilinear function of arousal or motivation, showing first an increase and then a decrease as arousal or motivation is increased | 1 set | |
| 7 | tasks of moderate difficulty, not too easy or too hard, elicit the highest level of performance. | 1 set | |
| 8 | states that we might perform well on an easy task with a very high level of arousal, but the same high level of arousal would prevent us from performing well on a difficult task. this is because our arousal needs may vary by activity. | 1 set | |
| 9 | this law says that for easy tasks, moderatley high arousal is optimal; for difficult tasks, moderately low is optimal; for most average tasks, a moderate level of arousal is optimal | 1 set | |
| 10 | for easy tasks, moderately high arousal is optimal; for difficult taks, moderately low is optimal, and for most average tasks, a moderate level of arousal is optimal | 1 set | |
| 11 | proposition that the relationship between arousal and performance involves an inverted u-shaped function, with better performance occuring at moderal levels of arousal | 1 set | |
| 12 | law stating that effective performance is more likely if the level of arousal is suitable to the activity | 1 set | |
| 13 | the principle that performance on tasks is best when the arousal level is apppriate to the difficulty of the task; higher arousal for simple tasks, moderate arousal for tasks of moderate difficulty, and lower arousal for complex tasks | 1 set | |
| 14 | difficult tasks - low arousal, easy tasks-high arousal | 1 set | |
| 15 | a summary of the relationships among arousal, task complexity, and performance. | 1 set | |
| 16 | theres an inverted u-shaped relationship between arousal and performance. our arousal level shifts depending on time of day. when were underaroused, we frequently experience stimulus hunger, or a drive for stimulation | 1 set | |
| 17 | performance is best under conditions of moderate arousal | 1 set | |
| 18 | the more complex the task the lower the level of arousal that can be tolerated without interfering with performance | 1 set | |
| 19 | the principle that performance on tasks is best when the arousal level is appropriate to the difficulty of the task; higher arousal for simple tasks, moderate arousal for moderate tasks, and lower arousal for complex tasks. | 1 set | |
| 20 | motivation inhibits the solving of difficult problems | 1 set | |
| 21 | performance increases with arousal until an optimal point, after which arousal interferes with performance | 1 set | |
| 22 | a degress of psychological arousal helps performance - sex and athletes | 1 set | |
| 23 | a moderate amount of stress is conducive to learning | 1 set | |
| 24 | states that there is an optimal level of arousal for the best performance of any task; the more complex the task, the lower the level of arousal that can be tolerated before performance deteriorates | 1 set | |
| 25 | performance improves as a function of anxiety up to a threshold beyond which there is a fall off in performance; a middle range of anxiety helps us perform better | 1 set | |
| 26 | law stating performance is related to arousal; easy tasks require a high level while more difficult tasks require a low level. | 1 set | |
| 27 | principle that performance on tasks is best when the arousal level is appropriate to the difficulty of the task.....higher arousal for simple tasks.....moderate for moderate difficulty, & lower arousal for complex tasks | 1 set | |
| 28 | inverted u-shaped relationship between arousal and performance. if not aroused enough, don't want to perform, if aroused too much, become nervous and don't perform well. | 1 set | |
| 29 | better on simple task when arousal is high (football) better on simple task when arousal is low (math test) | 1 set | |
| 30 | performance increases as arousal increases until optimal level is reached then performance decreases | 1 set | |
| 31 | law stating performance is related to arousal; moderate levels of arousal lead to better performance than do levels of arousal that are too low or too high. the effect varies with the difficulty of the task: easy task require a high-moderate level while more difficult tasks require a low-moderate level. | 1 set | |
| 32 | u-shaped relationship between arousal and performance/affect | 1 set | |
| 33 | proposition that the relationship between arousal and performance involves an inverted u-shaped function | 1 set | |
| 34 | law stating performance is related to arousal; moderate levels of arousal lead to better performance than do levels of arousal that are too high or low. this effect varies with the difficulty of the task: an easy task requires a high-moderate level while more difficult tasks require a low-moderate level. | 1 set | |
| 35 | law stating performance is related to arousal; moderate levels of arousal lead to better performance than do levels of arousal that are too low or too high. this effect varies with the difficulty of the task: easy tasks require a high-moderate level while more dificult tasks require a low-moderate level | 1 set | |
| 36 | a law that with a high level of arousal, we might perform well at an easy task, but fail at a difficult task | 1 set | |
| 37 | inverted u-shaped relation between arousal on the one hand, and affect and performance on the other. | 1 set | |
| 38 | the theory that a degree of psychological arousal helps preformance, but only to a point. | 1 set | |
| 39 | states that performance is best under conditions of moderate arousal rather than low or high arousal | 1 set | |
| 40 | a psychological principal that dictates that behavioral efficiency increases with arousal up to an optimum point, after which it decreases with increasing arousal | 1 set | |
