Performance-Samantha Delfino

 After reviewing the lecture slides on Performance, it made me wonder why some days we feel really focused and you get things done, but then other days it is hard to sometimes even start it. This comes down to motivation, it is what pushes us to do something. We we want something, it desires us to be motivated. I learned that the more motivated that we are, the more effort and time we put into reaching our goal.

Arousal is like the energy or excitement in our body and mind. We can think of it like a volume knob for how alert we are at sometimes. While according to the Yerkes-Dodson Law, there is. a perfect middle amount of arousal. When there is too little arousal, that means we don't focus well. When we have too much arousal it can make us mess up.
