“…On the one hand, we see opportunities for educators; because of AOT's seemingly significant upside for a wide range of judgments and decisions-including those that fall under the umbrella of risk analysis-we argue for front-lining it (and other critical reasoning skills) early and throughout a young person's education (e.g., see Baron, 1993). Unlike other work in risk education (e.g., Arvai et al, 2004;Schenk et al, 2021;Thekdi & Aven, 2021;Zint, 2001), which we agree is also essential, we are not referring here to teaching people about specific risk concepts such as judgmental biases, probability, uncertainty, or resilience. Instead, we are most interested in teaching a more fundamental mindset focused on the constructive nature of knowledge (Gurcay & Baron, 2016;Perkins, 1986) that informs many different kinds of judgments and decisions-including those involving risk analysis.…”
