Facilitation and
Arousal
- Zajonc proposed the drive theory, that as
arousal increases, so does the likelihood of
dominant responses
- the inverted U theory states that as arousal increases, so does
performance, up to a point, and then starts to decrease again
- the presence of others when performing dominant responses
increases arousal to an optimum level for performance
- performance tends to be optimal when arousal is moderate
