A very high arousal level would result in a high performance level, provided skill is WELL LEARNED. However, if the skill is not well-learned, performance of skill will decrease as arousal increases

catastrophe theory
Performances increases as cognitive anxiety increases and somatic anxiety is low but when arousal gets too high, performance dramatically decreases (catastrophe). This is caused by the performer becoming too anxious. Cognitive anxiety: mental th

inverted U law
As arousal increases performance also increases up to an optimal point. Past this point, performance begins to decrease. When drawn on a graph this appears as an upside down letter U shape.

zone of optimal
Zone of optimal functioning theory states that each individual performer plays/performs best under different levels of state anxiety. (Level of anxiety present in the moment of performance).
