In this way the GCs handled decision points without any need to consider more than one option. A Recognition Primed Decision (RPD) model was synthesized from these data, which emphasized the use of recognition rather than calculation or analysis for rapid decision making."

In over 80% of the cases the strategy was for the FGCs to use their experience to directly identify the situation as typical of a standard prototype, and to identify a course of action as typical for that prototype.

A total of 156 decision points were probed in this way. The major finding was that in less than 12% of the cases was there any evidence of simultaneous comparisons and relative evaluation of two or more options.

Each interview covered a critical incident that was non-routine and demanded expertise. The majority of incidents had occurred within the year preceding the interview. The interview probed the incident decision points: options identified, options selected, and reasons for the choice.

The method used included aspects of critical incident and protocol analysis paradigms. Interviews were conducted with 26 experienced firefighters (mean amount of experience = 23 years).

💡 - "Many exhilarating ideas and material to work on. I felt the part of the book where you talked about your own theories like connecting Athens with Klein, motivation, creativity etc was by far the best and maybe could even be expanded more"
