Résumé

Arousal level is thought to be a key determinant of variability in cognitive performance. In a recent study, Beerendonk, Mejías et al. show that peak performance in decision-making tasks is reached at moderate levels of arousal. They also propose a neurobiologically informed computational model that can explain the inverted-U-shaped relationship.
