Mental state in terms of challenge level and skill level, according to Csikszentmihalyi.[1] (Click on a fragment of the image to go to the appropriate article)

Overlearning is a pedagogical concept according to which newly acquired skills should be practiced well beyond the point of initial mastery, leading to automaticity. Once one has overlearned a task, one's skill level is higher than the challenge level for that task (see Control region in the graph).[1] The Yerkes–Dodson law predicts that overlearning can improve performance in states of high arousal.[2]
