Attention & Performance
(Limitations on Information Processing
)
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.
