Yerkes-Dodson: A Law For All Seasons: Theory & Psychology November 1994

The document is a research article from 1994 that examines the Yerkes-Dodson law, which proposes an inverse U-shaped relationship between arousal and performance. The author, Karl Halvor Teigen, argues that the Yerkes-Dodson law remains highly relevant and applicable to many situations involving arousal and performance. Teigen conducted a literature review and found support for the Yerkes-Dodson law in studies on topics like cognition, psychomotor performance, and animal behavior. The law continues to be widely cited as a way to understand how different levels of arousal can influence performance.
