When I was in the military the military has courses that I think subtly teach you to do this. You learn a bunch of academic stuff, then they go through some what I would call dry run exercises, then finally you're put in an immersive exercise. They do this with things like combat and medical trauma that often require making the right decisions at the right time and considering counter-decisions or seeing consequences into the future. Anecdotally when my base was attacked I almost saw myself performing actions that I'd rehearsed. Of course, situations changed rapidly and at times I let myself have a moment of awe in what I was in, but then it was back to doing things I knew.
In this way, I think speedy, correct decision making is the result of familiarity. Also yes, I'd like to sleep on a bed of baby octopuses carrying me through the sea.
