An assignment is asking me to do such through an essay: What is the Yerkes-Dodson Law? Describe how the law relates to performance.
Give three examples of how the law works in everyday life. One example should be based on a standard experience, one example should pertain to an easy or well-learned task, and one example should be for a more complex or new task.
How does the law change for each of these three scenarios?. While I have not finished the essay, is the current too wordy? if so, what do you suggest: Medical literature, in many fields, such as surgical procedures and patient-by-patient analyses has attempted and endeavored to find the root causes of the mind’s dilemmas: from melancholia – a state of irrational gloom and sadness; to the infamous, notorious structure of the mind through various perspectives, through an eclectic approach to ensure cordality – a normalcy and allegorizer of human achievement. Many of these physicians, of which study psychiatry, have sought themselves into the brain’s interpersonal functionalities – and enquired amongst themselves of the dialectical hypothesis: If the brain is differentiable amongst individuals, should such a thesis implicate the following: the brain employs – and wields interpersonal conflicts and external conflicts – to satisfy and fulfill the brain’s necessities for survival and other circumstance(s)? Advanced Placement (’AP’) Psychology - Semester II (’B;’ i.e.,) dialectisizes: motivation – species’ aptitude to satisfy intrapersonal and interpersonal necessities through primari’ism, secondari’ism, and stimuli’ism, akin – symbolize humankind’s brain structure to ensure survival per Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. As hypothesized and theorized by the late philosopher, psychiatrist, and philosopher of functionalism, William James, he had pursued a set theory to differentiate ‘sets’ of – a rather, quaint and laconic neolization of the body’s innate, intrinsic pressure – through the secretion concerning particularized hormones (and of the like) to ensure survival; through these processes, he withstood constant criticism against peers – leading to a theory of primary motivation, secondary motivation, and stimuli motivation, all ranked in their respective hierarchies to their applicable worth. Due to the vast assortment of necessity for psychologists to identify the root sources of melancholia and the structure of the brain – as a strong desire against the fundamental, wielding forces of ‘introspection’ from their (modern-day extinct) counterparts, his theory began to gain traction. In his papers, he classified motivation as an exemplified of set behavioral pattern, which the brain secretes specific hormones – both autonomously and consciously – for an individual to satisfy their bodily needs and sociobiocultural needs; many of which help to ensure an organism’s dominance and reproductivity in a region, particularized to their cultural perspectives. With the scientific methodologies, these dialectical discussions amongst William James’s peers – continuing inexhaustible to this day, per an eclectic approach of the plethoric fields of psychology serves as a motivator for many upon these various classifications. Psychologic scholars today, rank these in order: from the primary motivation serving as the most necessary to bodily survival; and forthwith the stimuli–as being culturally dependent per classical and operant conditioning (as seen from others of the like (e.g., B.F. Skinner). Primari’istic theory, for instance, centralizes unto the bodily necessities – as in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – the lowest and most necessary ‘tier’ – which is unavoidable and inescapable. While these urges are avoidable, they pertain to a common prerequisite: strong, self-discipline against the forces of bodily necessity; while secondary stimulation refers to the satisfaction of sociobiological and cultural necessities – serving as a rationale – a justification (despite moral restraints) to the why of human behavior tactics for social control against their peers and attraction. Stimuli  – contrariwise – symbolizes peoples’ desires for the ‘stimulation’ of their thoughts – their academic needs and necessities; this explains why – as for many – educational opportunities are crucial at a young age; without the brain development necessary, many will fail in life as their ‘stimuli’ associations will diminish. Many of these psychologists, extrapolate upon each of these classifications objectively – with abject denotations (and connotations) – which implicate their applicable, discernable functions in quotidian life; irrespective of peoples’ pleas – for they are a necessity – a barrier, which is irredemably a token of goodwill ---- a gauntlet of goodwill to ensure the survival of human beings, accordingly. 

Primary motivation, as hypothesized by many dualists and the functionalist William James, alongside his cohortsof the time (e.g., Charles Darwin) extrapolated off the Theory of Evolution – searching for why people have an internal struggle to satisfy their physiological needs; while others, for instance, can resist such struggles through extreme self-discipline. Through the functionalists’ turmoils to discern as to why some people, via the practice of extreme ascetism can restraint themselves from such urges, such as self-immolation (triumphantly), a unanimous decision amongst them was made: a sudden, burst of energy from hormonal secretions, from the anticipatory release of serotonin and dopamine – antagonistic to the abrupt release of cortisol and norepinephrine concur; wherein the individual will reward themselves by admitting to follow to their biological needs: this theory, of such horrors and strife which people endure – is an exemplified to the theory that the brain will prioritize its first line of sight: energetic hormonal secretions of pleasure into the brain to counteract necessary urges: hunger is one impenetrable urge; and thirst is another – for the body requires the proper nutrients for the body to survive. Some psychologists speculate, however, that if the brain was unbeknownst to these biological necessities – there would be no anticipatory release of these secretions when sufficed. Reproductivity is a tertiary primary stimulant: wherein people, of the age of adolescence and reproductive maturity must satisfy their libido-esque urges for the successful, unerring passage of genetic material into offspring – preferably without issues. Albeit that William James has not commented unto the necessities of sexual intercourse for the production of offspring, plethoric contemporaries suggested a clause: high libido during the initiation of adolescence for males, but the antithesis for females before menopause posit that the body secretes hormones (e.g., oxytocin) for the most successful ‘incubation’ of reproductive success. Many instances of these occur in the justification and the defensive court cases against sexting and pornographic use – many teenagers and young adults, plagued with high quantities of testosterone (for males) and estrogen (for females) complain of intolerably high sex urges (which they have not accustomed to (yet)), evoking a sense of ‘false sympathy’ – wherein the user satisfies their biological urges, under the pretense of  stimulatory act to release sexual tension. Such an example of primary motivation, other than inappropriacy, could be bystanders at a movie theater at the right moment: attendees – who failed to obtain, nor purchase food at concession stands, in the midst of a movie, will ‘cultivate’ all of their self-discipline, refusingly antagonizing their biological wants for food and drinks; however, as the laws of entropy dictate through psychology, many will eventually succumb (through heuristics, the process of finding a workable; yet, inefficient solution) to these urges by adhering to their desires – their energetic bursts of dopamine through immediate, unending food and drink consumption – optimally while watching the movie. Many of these incidents, while not explicitly occurring – happen implicitly through memories: many people in movies acquire surplus food quantities to satisfy their hunger pangs, aware that they would later be hungry if they did not eat now due to implicit, unpremeditated classical and operant conditioning, and through heuristical analysis and confirmation bias and other psychological necessities. Because of the functionality analysis presented by William James through his psychiatric books, novels, and quotes, many modern-day psychologists relish a synthetic, eclectic approach and potential theorem as to how primary motivation functions in present-day humans.

While primary motivation symbolizes a more necessary prerequisite on a biological scale – intrinsically devised to satisfy the bodily urges for prerequisital survival; thereupon emerges a separate, more distinct and subtler form of motivation – which relies unto sociobiological and sociocultural mediums than that of necessariness and creeds, alike — secondary motivation, as the name implies, symbolizes the second ‘tier’ – right above Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – a nomenclature-like, triangular representation of the ‘necessities’ humans fulfill until they reach the top: self-actualization (viz., self-transcendence) – the zenith of human potential through the philosophy of humanistic philosophy. Irrespective of the effects pertaining to the former, the latter postulates that humans’ experiences with fellow homo sapiens results in them trying to reach for a ‘self-actualization’ goal of ‘self-transcendence;’ implicatively, once humans suffice for their necessities unto the lower spectrum of the hierarchies – predominantly the necessities of the primary motivations, many seek to satisfy their cultural perspective to others around them. Many of the functionalists, such as William James – did elaborate somewhat unto this theorem; albeit – most the contributions, as implied, arose from the speculatory syntheses and (anti)theses from the humanist perspective: the brain, through the release of anticipatory dopamine seeks to find an external struggle – a tumultuous dilemma plaguing individuals for self-improvement compared to their peers to fulfill their necessities. While not all instances of secondary motivation incorporate the secretion of endorphins and hormones, such as norepinephrine, GAB(B)A, and cortisol – meant to ‘distress’ the victim – the psychologic sufferer into submission, many of these cases are manageable because of the emphasis on eustress: the antithesis of distress – wherein the Yorkes-Dawdson model suggests that a moderate level of stress contributes to high-level performance; while too little results in no performance; and the latter – or the anticipatory – causes jitteriness and the inability to function properly for many reasons: such of which may incorporate — hyperfocus unto some, leading to ‘tunnel visioning’ (per the common neology of self-improvement video game guides; which examples secondary (and stimuli) motivation); high-stress management, where the body must endure the release – the onslaught of cortisol before the dopamine release; and
