Discharge peak emotional arousal through physical activity before attempting cognitive work that requires working memory and abstract reasoning.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Working Memory Capacity Limit (working memory limits), Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (executive function draws finite resources), and As response speed increases, accuracy decreases along… (speed-accuracy tradeoff). The principle prescribes sequencing interventions based on understanding how high arousal impairs complex cognition.
