Explanation
The Yerkes-Dodson law predicts that most people perform easy tasks best at high levels of arousal and difficult tasks best at low levels of arousal. The term baseline state applies best to the opponent-process theory of motivation. Self-actualization is a term used in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and homeostasis is a term that describes a state of equilibrium in drive reduction theory.
