Is a certain amount of stress good for you? Definitely!
Is there a point at which the amount of stress becomes detrimental? Most certainly!
Is there a law, a model, or a formula that tells us how much stress is too much? Contrary to popular opinion, probably not!
In this episode Tom airs his frustrations about an often rolled out piece of research called the ‘Yerkes-Dodson Law’. We discuss the law’s origins, what Yerkes and Dodson were actually measuring and how the law has become a universal measure for all sorts of theories.
As we often say, all models are wrong but some are useful. When it comes to the Yerkes-Dodson Law, we may well be exploring a law that doesn’t actually exist.
