In this video I describe arousal theory, the Yerkes-Dodson law, and flow. Arousal theory suggests that there is an optimal level of arousal that we are motivated to maintain and that we will seek out activities that serve to raise or lower our arousal in order to reach this optimal level. The Yerkes-Dodson law refers to the idea that there is a level of arousal which corresponds to peak performance and that arousal below or above that level will hinder performance. Lastly I describe Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's concept of flow, which refers to a state of focus and absorption in a task that occurs when the level of challenge is matched with our level of skill.
