Mild anxiety is associated with increased learning ability. It involves a sensation that something is different and warrants special attention. Sensory stimulation increases and helps the person focus attention to learn, solve problems, think, act, feel, and protect himself or herself. Mild anxiety often motivates people to make changes or to engage in goal-directed activity. Focusing only on immediate task, a faster rate of speech, and a narrowed perceptual field are associated with moderate levels of anxiety.
