Explanation
According to the Yerkes-Dodson Law, optimal performance and learning occur at moderate levels of arousal—enough to maintain attention and engagement but not so much as to cause anxiety or interference. Fear is detrimental to learning as it activates stress responses that impair cognitive functioning, memory, and executive function. The ideal learning state combines moderate arousal with psychological safety, allowing learners to engage cognitively without being overwhelmed.
