There is a ton of data on pilot response time to everything from visual or instrument based information, to air traffic controller response results.
Interesting are the ones where they have to process an urgent but complex response

Sorry, the above is a different thing, but is a good read.
The Monash report in my previous post pretty much answers response time questions in a variety of situations, and it fits well with the NRMA article.

Is there anything from the aviation literature about time between a critical event being triggered in a simulator and a pilot assessing the situation and initiating a response?
I know of some research done on cardiopulmonary bypass machines and they had a fancy camera that tracked where you were looking - the variations in how people looked at all of their monitors before/while responding to a situation were very interesting.
