Ie chess master or neurosurgeon: low level leads to best performance: depending on sport position you may do better at higher levels of arousal. Ie running back: high level of arousal leading to high level of performance: arousal is specific to your task and will dictate your performance, specific task demands: the environment of a performer can influence capacity of attentional resources. A: attention directed towards the initiation (and sometimes termination) of a. B: automate elementary components of a skill prior to integrating additional movement is critical movement constraints: six age groups (6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 19) performing in each of four experimental.
