Erik,
I think that the first O... Observe... is also enhanced through training. By learning what to look for, we pick up on (recognize) threats sooner.
Another aspect of my programs that might relate here is that Competency is the responsibility of the individual. It is a truism that leads me to avoid answering questions like "how long does it take?" and "What does the average person do when..."
Outside of the predictable and observable instinctive reactions, individual intelligence, strength, coordination, etc play a huge role in responses.
