stress arousal performance

Stress, arousal, and performance foundations: the arousal-performance relation (Yerkes-Dodson), attentional narrowing and tunneling under stress, anxiety and threat effects on attention and cognition, compensatory effort models (Hockey), and noise, heat, or pressure effects on performance. The foundational stress-cognition construct, distinct from stress_driving (driver strain in traffic as a driving-specific state) and from cognitive_workload tags (task demand rather than stressor effects).
