Answer to Question 1

The Yerkes-Dodson Principle proposes that increased stress or arousal can help improve performance, but only up to a certain point, and that excess stress diminishes performance and can undermine health.

Answer to Question 2

Unlike a threat response, which rewires the brain to heighten a sense of danger, a challenge response strengthens connections between the parts of the brain that suppress fear and enhance learning and positive motivation.
