Question 3

Trina is an average-ability science student, but she is in danger of receiving a failing grade due to her low test scores. "I know the information when I study at home," she said to Mrs. Kirby, "but as soon as you pass out the test, I get so nervous that I can barely remember my name. Then, as I think about how badly I'm going to do, I get even more nervous."
-According to the above case study.How can we interpret the negative effects of anxiety on Trina's test performances? That is,how is anxiety likely to hinder her performances?

Accepted Answer

Trina's anxiety is likely to hinder her performance in three ways.First,her negative thoughts do not allow her to focus her attention on the material to be learned.Second,her anxious thoughts can negatively influence her ability to learn new material,especially material that may be disorganized or difficult.Finally,like most highly anxious students,Trina probably has inadequate test-taking skills.Thus,teaching Trina how to relax may not be a sufficient strategy for increasing her test performance.She could also benefit from direct instruction on critical learning strategies (e.g.,good note taking skills)and test-taking skills.
