Constructing knowledge to predict threats
Imagine you frequently walk past a particular house with a fenced yard and a barking dog inside. You hardly pay attention to the house or the fence—they’re just part of your daily routine. One day, however, you surprisingly encounter the aggressive dog on a street nearby, and barking furiously it attacks you. Next time, would you walk past your standard route by the fence again? If not, at what point would you decide to change your route?
