Catastrophe Theory



1) As arousal increases so does performance to an optimal level
2) Then there is a sudden decrease in performance (catastrophe)
3) So body control and coordination are lost
4) Unable to concentrate, making poor decisions
5) If arousal is reduced the performer can get back on the upward graph
6) If arousal continues to increase performance will decrease.
