What is energetic arousal and what does it range from? what (low) to what (high)?

Back 11

~Positive affect
~Ranging from tiredness and sleepiness (low end) to liveliness and vigor (high end)
~Ex ( Effects of Exercise )

~Range of feelings
~ Ranging from calmness and stillness (low end) to tension, anxiety, and fearfulness (high end)

Front 13

Collective Variables are comprised of three stimulus characteristics.

Back 13

1. Novelty
2. Complexity
3. Incongruity

Front 14

Definition of Novelty

Back 14

~A stimulus that is new or different

Front 15

Definition of Complexity

Back 15

~Number of elements and their intricacy

Front 16

Definition of Incongruity

Back 16

~Inconsistencies or discrepancies

Front 17

Definition of Directional Fractionation of Response

Back 17

~Refutes the uni dimensional concept , which states that arousal is viewed along a singe continuum, all physiological variables associated with arousal change in unison,.
~States that arousal can function at different rates and in different directions.

Front 18

Definition of state anxiety

Back 18

A temporary, situational, brief emotional response at any given moment depending on the given situation.

Front 19

Definition of trait anxiety

Back 19

A unique aspect of one's personality and social behavior, being the tendency to respond anxiously to certain stressful (non-dangerous) situations, often to an unusually high degree.

Front 20

What is Yarkes-Dodson Law?

Back 20

It is an empirical relationship between arousal and performance.

Front 21

How does Yerkes-Dodson Law apply to cognitive tasks?

Back 21

~Different cognitive tasks require different levels of arousal, and thus, a single inverted U is unsatisfactory.
~Difficult tasks --> Low arousal
~Easy tasks --> High arousal

Front 22

How does Yerkes-Dodson Law apply to athletic tasks?

Back 22

~Different athletic tasks require different levels of arousal, and thus, a single inverted U is unsatisfactory.
~Fine motor skills --> Lower arousal
~Gross motor skills --> Higher arousal

Front 23

What is the Cusp Catastrophe Model?

Back 23

~It shows us that there are two types of arousal when it comes to sports performance.
~At low physiological arousal, increases in cognitive anxiety produce a slight improvement in athletic
performance while at high physiological arousal, increases in cognitive anxiety produce a decline in
performance.

Front 24

What are the two types of arousal when it comes to sports performance?

Back 24

1. Cognitive Anxiety
2. Physiological Arousal (Somatic Anxiety)

Front 25

What is Tonic Immobility?

Back 25

It refers to the behavior that occurs in the reaction to extremely stressful circumstances.

Front 26

What are the characteristics of Tonic Immobility?

Back 26

1. Absence of movement
2. Lack of responsiveness
3. The tendency to maintain the same posture
4. Remaining silent
5 Unresponsiveness to pain
6. Maintains alertness

Front 27

What is the relationship between aesthetic stimuli and arousal as it relates to complexity preferences?

Back 27

~Preferences for aesthetic stimuli depend on there arousal potential, which is based on complexity.
~The relationship between stimuli and Preference also follows an inverted-U pattern.
~Complexity preferences do not always remain constant - it often changes with repeated exposure, to the point that mire complex stimuli (initially judged as being unpleasant) are eventually judged as being more pleasant.

Front 28

What is musical grammar processor?

Back 28

~It is a hypothesis on why we do not get tired of listening to the same music repeatedly.
~ The processor has a primitive schema about basic musical grammar by which it resolves musical notes.
~No matter what kind of music it is the musical grammar processor works the same way every time to assimilate musical notes into its primitive schema.
~Each rehearing of the music brings pleasure because the processor is sealed of of long term memory.

Arousal-Safety Model

Back 30

According to Rothbart incongruous stimulation's judged as safe will lead to exhilaration, relief, and
laughter, similar stimulation s judged as dangerous will lead to fear and withdraw.
