This Session covers the nuances of the decision making process and how we come to the conclusions or take the actions that we do. The Session’s key points revolve around the O3R Process of decision making for the trained person in a dynamic critical incident. Through training and practice over time, you can learn to have your decision making process automated so that you take action without having to cognitively process information, or even being aware that you are making a decision. You want your actions in a fight to be like stepping on the brakes when a deer jumps onto the road in front of your car: You don’t need to think about them, they just happen because your brain shortcuts the normal complex cognitive process of choosing between options.
