Inverted U Theory
- (The relationship between arousal and
the level of expertise or phase of learning)
- The inverted U principle for different tasks
- The Inverted U Principle
- The inverted U theory predicts that as arousal increases
so does the quality of performance. Quality improves
improves up to a point mid-way along the arousal axis
- This point is called the optimum point or the
threshold of arousal and predicts that best
performance occurs at moderate levels or arousal
- This is the perfect state in which the potential
to learn and perform well is maximised
- This is the perfect state in which the potential
to learn and perform well is maximised
- This point is called the optimum point or the
threshold of arousal and predicts that best
performance occurs at moderate levels or arousal
- At the optimum point the attention of the individual
adjusts to the ideal width and as a result the learner
and performer is able to concentrate fully
- With increased focus
the performer detects
only the most important
information. This
process of selective
attentiveness is called
cue-utilisation
- When
under-aroused
concentration is
lost because the
attention field of the
performer widens
excessively
- The results in
information
overload
- The results in
information
overload
- Over-arousal
causes the field of
attention to narrow
excessively and as
a result the relevant
environmental cues
are missed
- This results in
hypervigilence
- This results in
hypervigilence
- Variation of Optimum Point of Arousal
- Personality
- The person has an extroverted personality type performs and
learns best under conditions of higher arousal, Conversely
introverted function most effectively at a lower threshold of arousal
- The person has an extroverted personality type performs and
learns best under conditions of higher arousal, Conversely
introverted function most effectively at a lower threshold of arousal
- Level of
experience
- An experienced athlete would reach their maximum
performance when arousal is high. The novice would
perform best when their optimum point is lower
- An experienced athlete would reach their maximum
performance when arousal is high. The novice would
perform best when their optimum point is lower
- Type
of task
- Fine movements & complex skills (which require large
amount of attention) require a lower arousal level,
Whereas tackling in football or rugby requires a high level
of arousal (which helps skills requiring speed or strength)
