Children learn better if they experience :

  • A.Low level of alertness during activity
  • B.Moderate level of excitement to learn
  • C.High degree of anxiety to perform
  • D.Learned helplessness

Answer: B

Children learn better when they experience a moderate level of excitement to learn.

The Yerkes-Dodson relationship describes performance as rising with arousal up to an optimum and then falling. A moderate level of excitement keeps children alert, interested and motivated without overwhelming them, which is the state in which attention and memory work best.

A low level of alertness leaves children bored and inattentive. A high degree of anxiety interferes with thinking and memory. Learned helplessness is the belief, built up by repeated failure, that effort makes no difference, so the child stops trying. None of these helps learning.
