Abstract
[Extract] People rely heavily on experience when interpreting and responding to events in the world around them [1]. As we age, we learn to fit into surrounding landscapes, social groups and rhythms. Like other organisms, our developing brains and bodies are well equipped by our evolutionary history to cope with direct causality and familiar natural phenomena that occur at time frames similar to or shorter than our lifespans and generational times (e.g. vegetation growth, seasonal cycles, animal migrations). However, our focus on particular spatial and temporal scales makes us far worse at identifying and responding to environmental change that is long and slow, occurs over large areas or has complex, indirect causality.
