Question 3

DRIVE THEORY-DOMINANT RESPONSE EARLY VS LATE STAGES OF LEARNING

EARLY STAGES OF LEARNING: HIGH AROUSAL LEADS TO REVERTING BACK TO THEIR DOMINANT RESPONSE WHICH IS INCORRECT FORM.
LATE STAGES OF LEARNING: HIGH AROUSAL IS USEFUL BECAUSE THE ATHLETES DOMINANT RESPONSE IS CORRECT.

Question 4

WHAT IS THE INVERTED U THEORY

Answer 4

AROUSAL INCREASES PERFORMANCE TO A POINT WHICH IS MEDIUM AROUSAL LEVELS, AFTER THIS PERFORMANCE GRADUALLY DECREASES.

Question 5

NOT ALL ATHLETES OPTIMAL AROUSAL LEVEL IS IN THE MIDDLE AND PERFORMANCE DROPS A LOT FASTER THAN THIS THEORY SUGGESTS.

Answer 6

ONCE OPTIMAL AROUSAL HAS BEEN REACHED, PERFORMANCE WILL MASSIVLY DROP ONLY IF YOU HAVE HIGH COGNITIVE ANXIETY. IF YOU HAVE LOW COGNITIVE ANXIETY, IT WILL BE MORE LIKE THE INVERTED U THEORY, A MORE GRADUAL DECLINE.
