Activity 3.1: Review the concepts associated with limitations in attention by matching related terms to their definitions. Activity 3.2: Indicate whether each in a list of characteristics applies to controlled processing or automatic processing. Activity 3.3: Using a figure from the book, explore how the inverted –U relationship between arousal and performance varies by situation and person. The basic idea is that as the arousal level rises, output improves, but only to the extent that it contributes to performance degradation beyond the rise in arousal. Some arousal is therefore considered important for successful performance, but too much arousal contributes to anxiety or stress, which degrades performance. Wherein performing with less arousal also lead to a poor performance. Therefore an athlete or performer, should maintain the moderate quality of arousal-causing an exact performance or execution.

or kids should not be allowed on the adult’s pool to join in. (In this case, lifeguard can maintain their equal attention for all with an optimal level of arousal.)
2.When mountain biking, some cyclists who have no trouble riding along a straight trail have difficulty performing the identical task (riding in a straight line) on a bridge that is the same width (or wider) than the trail, resulting in a less smooth performance or even a fall. What role might focus of attention play in this phenomenon? How could the inverted-U principle be used to help explain why a bridge over a ravine may make the task of riding in a straight line more difficult? Choking might be the role which focus of attention play in the given phenomenon. Where these are skilled athletes who routinely perform with an external focus of attention sometimes shift their focus under pressure to movement production. This shift in attentional focus can reduce performance quality, leading to further internalized focus and a heightened anxiety. Like as in the scenario or situation were the cyclists changes the normal routine which is riding in a straight line trail and have a difficult in performing on the identical task on a bridge. And because of this changes, different from a normal routine, the cyclists failed to adapt the changing situation, which resulted to a less smooth performance or even a fall. Using the inverted-U principle, you can easily conclude that in performing or executing each movement it must be base on the skill and the environment. You may increase or decrease your arousal for you to perform correctly in the given environment. Example are the cyclists which failed to perform due to lack or less arousal they’ve exerted wherein the given environment needs greater arousal. However performing with high arousal may lead you to poor performance. Therefore moderate arousal is needed and exertion of force must be base on the environment and the skill needed of course.
