performance.
Threat Pattern Recognition training indicates in research that? - ANS Officers who received
proper TPR decrease their Reaction Time during a deadly force assault, and enhance their
precision.
Human Factor Research is defined as? - ANS The study of human capabilities & human
limitations in a specific domain.

, As task difficulty or complexity increases, the optimum level arousal for effective response
decreases. What term is this known as? - ANS Inverted-U Law
Human Factors is? - ANS the study of human capabilities and human limitations in a specific
domain.
High-Risk Human Factors is defined as? - ANS The study of human capabilities and limitations
in a high risk environment that is dynamic (chaotic), fluid (uncertain), time compressed and life
threatening.
