SAM 201 | When unexpected things happen

Published: Feb. 27, 2018, noon

When everything goes as planned, your expectations are met and situational awareness is easily formed and sustained.\xa0 However, sometimes your expectations are violated. In other words, your beautifully constructed mental model of the outcomes of an event are flawed. When this happens, your brain can become overwhelmed with confusion. It can also lead to anger and frustration because your brain doesn\u2019t like to be wrong. This, in turn, can impact your situational awareness.
