Emotional arousal at moderate level improves:
Learning performance
The Yerkes-Dodson law describes an inverted-U relationship between arousal and performance, showing that performance improves with arousal but only up to an optimal point.
At a moderate level, emotional arousal keeps learners alert and motivated without becoming overwhelming, which enhances focus and learning performance.
Withdrawal, confusion, and avoidance are typically associated with excessively high or disruptive arousal, not with a moderate, optimal level.
Therefore, emotional arousal at a moderate level improves learning performance.
