Learning and Decision-Making in a Snake Bite Scenario Study
SessionWednesday Poster Session
DescriptionThis study examines the effectiveness of Just-In-Time (JIT) training in improving decision-making, confidence, and response performance during a simulated venomous snake-bite emergency. Rare, high-risk events often require rapid action despite limited prior experience, making hesitation and uncertainty important human factors concerns. Participants either received a brief instructional video immediately before the scenario or completed the task without training. Measures of response accuracy, reaction time, and confidence were collected. Preliminary findings indicate that participants who received JIT training responded faster, demonstrated higher scenario accuracy, and reported greater confidence compared with the control group. Results suggest that brief, task-relevant information delivered at the point of need can improve psychological readiness and support more effective decision-making in low-frequency emergency situations. This poster presentation discusses the implications of JIT training as a human factors intervention for improving emergency preparedness and response performance.
