HFRG PPCT INSTRUCTOR STUDY GUIDE FOR TEST
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is Threat Pattern Recognition? A system that analyzes the patterns related to an
attack or deadly attack and develops a tactical response from science and motor skill
performance.
What does Threat Pattern Recognition training suggest by research? Officers that were
appropriately TPR trained reduce their Reaction Time in a deadly force attack and
increases their accuracy.
Human Factor Research is defined as? - Answer The study of human capabilities &
definitions in a specific domain.
The TPR use of force system applies what type of research to the design of training? -
Answer Human Factors
Pre-Attentive Sub Cortical [superior colliculus]?
The cortical visual pathway processes an image in? - Answer 1.) .012 seconds
2.) .33 Seconds
Under stress, peripheral vision can be reduced by __% when the SNS is activated? - 70
As task difficulty or complexity increases, the optimum level arousal for effective
response decreases. What term is this known as? - Inverted - U Law
Human Factors is? - the study of human capabilities and human limitations in a specific
domain.
, High-Risk Human Factors is defined as? -Answer The study of human capabilities and
limitations in a high risk environment that is dynamic (chaotic), fluid (uncertain), time
compressed and life threatening.
2001-2010 Officers feloniously killed with firearm: Distance -Answer 0-5 Feet: 51.9%
6-10 Feet: 19.2%
0-10 Feet: 71.1%
In Siddle's follow up to Hontz's study regarding assailant response time he found? -
Answer Assailant movement speed was .37 seconds. Siddle also found officer response
time from the holster was 1.9 seconds without aiming, 2.4 seconds when aiming.
The four components of Acceptability? - Answer 1.)Tactical
2.)Legal
3.)Medical
4.) Human Factors Research
Mental States in Combat - Answer 1.) Combat Anxiety
2.) Survival Stress
3.) Combat Stress
- "The expectation of an attack", this exposure can be a progressive decay of both the
psychological as well as physical abilities. - Answer Combat Apprehension
"Perception of lethal threat that triggers the off SNS," resulting in physiological
alterations that may reduce performance. - Answer Survival Stress
The symptoms after the event that are mental and physiological, resulting from SNS
arousal, and the sudden return to the Parasympathetic Nervous System "backlash" that
