“…Mitigation of the aquatic incident requires identifying the problem, establishing a preliminary diagnosis and making the appropriate decisions to treat drowning in a hostile environment [4]. Moreover, for each drowned person who dies, it has been estimated that four people receive care in the emergency services for non-fatal drowning [5].…”

“…Alternatively, it could suggest some LEL have higher sensitivity bias and lower thresholds of perceived hazardousness. Such variability is unsurprising when lifeguards have to process such complex scenarios involving so many potential variables (Szpilman et al, 2017). Also, given that some EL produced lower detection rates than LEL, this might suggest experience will not always allow the development of enhanced encoding and retrieval or enhanced sensitivity bias.…”

“…Furthermore, cognitive processes relating to decision-making following the identification of a potential hazard would be predicted to become more refined with experience as lifeguards develop the knowledge structures which identify what hazards require a physical (active) response against those that require observation only (inactive response). Szpilman et al (2017) identified 64 variables that can influence the process of a single rescue and therefore refining decision making is key in terms of responding quickly. While it is clearly important that newly qualified lifeguards can quickly obtain safe levels of hazard detection skills, the task-specific engagement required to produce mechanistic changes is not considered in current lifeguard training programs, which typically last for less than one week.…”

“…In emergency scenarios, timing is of the essence: the environment changes rapidly, so agents need to move fast before their knowledge of the environment becomes outdated [16]. Additionally, in real emergencies agents have limited time to accomplish their goal.…”
