Figures & data

Figure 1. Stress during adolescence may cause a shift in the curvilinear relationship between performance and arousal, as described by the Yerkes-Dodson law for tasks of moderate difficulty. Note that under conditions that are either very low-threat or intensely stressful, animals are not predicted to differ in performance regardless of rearing conditions.
