Interesting Horizon programme on decision-making
No direct aviation content, but plenty for aviators and others who have to make decisions quickly and accurately to think about.

Some time ago, while researching stuff on the MoK crash, I came across some figures for decision making/reaction time among aviators when becoming unexpectedly spatially disorientated (eg when inadvertently entering cloud); from memory just now I recall figures of up to 9 secs for military and 16 secs for civil.
More than I expected and probably many of you on this forum would have expected.

Early in the programme is a section on excessive task-focus reducing what we would call situational-awareness. Not new news to aviators, I'd suggest.
