Question
Seventeen-year-old Franny is getting very emotional over her psychology notes. There are just so many names and theories to memorize. Not only does she not know what to think about the content of her textbook, she does not know what to think of her emotions. She is so emotional that she is having trouble thinking.What theory would BEST describe this condition?Elimination ToolSelect one answerAYerkes-Dodson.BSchacter-Singer.CCannon-Bard.DJames-Lange.ESelye-Singer.
Solution
The theory that would best describe Franny's condition is the Yerkes-Dodson law. This psychological theory suggests that there is an optimal level of arousal for performance, and excessive arousal (such as high emotional state) can lead to decreased performance. In Franny's case, her high emotional state is causing her to have trouble thinking and memorizing her psychology notes.
