PPCT Defensive Tactics | 117 Questions and Answers
100% Correct | Latest Update 2024
What documented research does this system have to validate the techniques and
training components? - ANSWER Tactical Research, Medical Research, Legal
Research, Survival Stress Research, Motor Learning Research
What is the basic philosophy of the system; control self-defense, martial arts? -
ANSWER The HFRG system evolves this standard by adding survival stress
(physiology) research and motor learning research as stand-alone design modules.
What medical research has been conducted on the selection of the techniques? -
ANSWER 6 medical studies examining the safety and medical implications of
HFRG subject control system. Conducted by vascular surgeons, dental surgeons,
neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons, with additional input from chiropractors.
What research has been conducted on the practicality of an officer having to
execute a technique in stressful environments? - ANSWER Tactical Research
How does the most recent stress research apply to the design of the system? -
ANSWER The research provides a science-based explanation or many of the
unexpected behaviors of criminal justice officers under stress. It also provides the
framework for the design of the use of force system.
Identify the predictable physical levels/actions of resistance. - ANSWER
Identify the predictable level of stress the officer is exposed to during different
types of resistance and threats. - ANSWER
,Select control techniques that are conducive to predictable levels of resistance. -
ANSWER
Verify the medical implications of techniques as being proportional to the level of
resistance. - ANSWER
Identify the "theory of application" for each technique. - ANSWER
Identify the mental states in combat. - ANSWER Combat anxiety "the
anticipation of danger", survival stress "Deadly force threat perception that
initiates the SNS discharge", combat stress "post event mental and physiological
systems that are a result of the SNS activation and the sudden return to the PNS.
Define the autonomic nervous system including its two branches, their functions,
and the balance between the two. - ANSWER ANS is the organs of our body,
such as the heart, stomach, and intestines, are regulated by a part of the nervous
system called ANS. The two branches are PNS and SNS (SNS "fight or flee" PNS
"rest and digest". The balance between the two is called homeostasis. During this
stage there is a high level of cerebral cortex processing, which allows a person to
be smart, deliberate and precise.
Identify the Sympathetic Nervous System triggers. - ANSWER Objective threat
perceptions, objective fear perceptions, physical exhaustion, startle response.
Identify the physiological changes caused by SNS Activation. - ANSWER
Increased adrenal activity, which will affect heart rate and respiration. A second
set of changes occurs in the blood vessels which affects certain types of motor
, skills. The contour of the eye lens changes and the pupils become dilated.
Auditory exclusion may occur.
Identify how SNS activation affects combat performance. - ANSWER Can drive
the heart rate from normal range of 60-80 BPM to over 200 BPM.
Define perceptual narrowing. - ANSWER Each of the perceptual senses, (sight,
sound, touch, taste, smell and the six senses), provides the brain with a constant
flow of information.
Describe the effects of SNS activation on vision. - ANSWER In survival stress
environment, this has a devastating impact on the officer's ability to perform a
task since the visual system plays such a vital role in nearly every aspect.
Describe the effects if SNS activation on sight alignment. - ANSWER For sight
alignment, you might have to change stances depending on what you are
comfortable with. An example, activation of the SNS alerts the visual system for
more information about the threat. The visual system makes two significant
changes to increase light and information.
Describe the effects of SNS activation on vision and stance selection. - ANSWER
SNS will adjust the body to receive as much information as possible to survive the
threat.
Describe how the three stages of memory relate to combat performance -
ANSWER Short term sensory store, using the perceptual senses, the STSS
receives the information and holds an image. Second one, short term memory,
analyzes and evaluates the information received and formulates a strategy based
