Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Yerkes-Dodson law states that performance is optimal at a medium level of arousal, and that difficult or complex tasks require a lower level of arousal (in order to focus and concentrate) while easy or routine tasks require a higher level of arousal (in order to activate and engage). Choice A (James-Lange) refers to the theory that emotions arise from physiological responses, choice C (Lazarus-Plutchik) refers to theories of emotion that emphasize cognitive appraisal and subjective experience, and choice D (Darwin-Izzard) is not a recognized theory in the field of psychology.
