The meaning of " might be rooted in a more general capacity to understand causal relations" ?

Does " might be rooted in a more general capacity to understand causal relations" mean " might be rooted in a more general capacity, the purpose of the "temporal binding" for doing so is in order to understand causal relations?"

Context:

Some researchers have hypothesized that our perceptual system binds events together if we perceive them to be the result of intentional action, and that temporal binding results from our ability to link our actions to their consequences. But psychological scientist Marc Buehner of Cardiff University, UK wondered whether temporal binding might be rooted in a more general capacity to understand causal relations.
