16. Optimum level of arousal theory
• The law was first described in 1908 by psychologists Robert
Yerkes and John Dillingham Dodson.

motivate rats to complete a maze, but when the electrical shocks
became too strong, the rats would scurry around in random
directions to escape.

levels could help focus motivation and attention on the task at hand,
but only up to a certain point.

which are based on the past, modified by circumstances
of the present & includes expectations about the future

his behavior
