PPCT TEST REVIEW STUDY GUIDE 2026
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS REVIEW GRADED
A+
⩥ High-Risk Human Factors.
Answer: Is the study of human capabilities and limitations, in a high risk
environment that is dynamic (chaotic), fluid (uncertain), time
compressed and life threatening
⩥ Threat Pattern Recognition.
Answer: is a system that examines the patterns associated with an assault
or a lethal assault, and engineers a tactical solution based on science and
motor performance. The TPR System embraces the realities of time, and
engineers solutions that change tactical time-lines.
This system is an outcome of PPCT's Tactical, Legal and Medical
research, as well as PPCT'S Survival Reaction Time research
⩥ TPR (Threat Pattern Recognition) Training.
Answer: Decrease their reaction time during a deadly force assault and
enhance their precision.
⩥ Officers feloniously killed with firearms (Distance) 2001-2010.
Answer: 0-5 ft = 51.9%. 6-10 ft = 19.2%. 0-10 ft = 71.1%. Total Officers
Killed= 468
,⩥ Siddle Hontz Study.
Answer: Assailant movement time was .37 seconds.
Officers Response Time from holster was 1.9 seconds without aiming,
2.4 seconds when aiming.
⩥ What are the primary pathways of vision.
Answer: Sub cortical (pre-attentive) visual
Cortical (attentive) visual
⩥ Sub cortical (pre-attentive) visual.
Answer: Processes images in .012
⩥ Cortical (attentive) visual.
Answer: Processes images in .33
⩥ Peripheral vision.
Answer: Can be reduced by 70% when Sympathetic Nervous System
(SNS) is Activated.
, ⩥ Automatic Nervous System is divided into two branches.
Answer: Parasympathetic nervous system and Sympathetic nervous
system
⩥ parasympathetic nervous system.
Answer: The parasympathetic nervous system allows us to "rest and
digest". This allows us to save energy - the blood pressure decreases, the
heart will beat slower and with less force, the pupils will constrict,
mucus production increases and digestion can start.
⩥ Homeostasis.
Answer: Is the balance between "Flight and Fight" syndrome and the
"rest and digest" syndrome
Homeostasis, there is a high level of cerebral cortex processing, which
allows a per to be smart, deliberate, and precise. This is the desired
environment where performance is optimal.
⩥ Sympathetic nervous system Triggers.
Answer: -Objective threat perceptions
-Objective fear perceptions
-Physical exhaustion
-Startle Response
