what is the inverted u theory
states that as arousal increases so does performance
however if arousal goes over the optimal point performance will deteriorate
what will happen if the performer has too little or too much arousal
it will interfere with there coordination, decision making and performance.
what is arousal
the state of general preparedness
what is anxiety
being stressed and overwhelmed
what are the two types of anxiety
state- in the moment you are anxious
trait- you are naturally nervous all the time
what will happen if you have high anxiety or arousal
will cause over excitement and therefore disrupt performance
what happens to extroverts in the inverted u theory
they will perform better under situations of high arousal
what will happen to introverts in the inverted u theory
they will perform better under low levels of arousal
what is a gross skill
large movement, need high levels of arousal
what is a fine skill
small discrete movement needs low level of arousal
what is the drive theory
linear relationship between arousal and performance. as arousal increases so does performance
what is performance
arousal x skill level
what happens as a result of an increase in arousal
causes the dominant habit to occur
practical example of the drive theory
a novice rounders player who is trying to impress misses the ball
how does the drive theory affect performers at different stages of learning
performers at the autonomous stage of learning will benefit from high levels of arousal compared to cognitive and associative
