On the perceptiual differences, I think that adults are more prone to develop, both intentionally and unintentionally, fixed mindsets on the environment. As I get older, I feel that we tend to migrate towards the simple and common, and children remain open learners, being that there is new stimulation around every corner. They are used to adapting, because they must, to learn how to survive (primally speaking), yet we can pick and choose out of several way; often we choose the path of least resistance, which makes us weaker.
