Affording Affordance Moral Realism
Biological Theory, 2020In this article I elaborate a scientifically based moral realism that I call affordance moral realism, and I offer a promissory note that affordance moral realism is the best current explanation of morality. Affordance moral realism maintains that morality is constituted by the interaction of moral agents and moral affordances.

International Journal of Web Based Communities, 2009
Our final goal is to utilise a cognition viewpoint for the engineering of a better design of human communication tools. In this paper, we extend the concept of affordance to cover human-to-human communication and propose the novel concept of 'human affordance', which is afforded from humans, not artefacts. As one possible utilisation of the concept, we

Affordance potency: Explaining the actualization of technology affordances
Information and Organization, 2017Abstract Given the importance of information technology (IT) in effecting organizational change, scholars have strived for many years to theorize the ways in which IT can produce the changes intended for it. Recent arguments claim that most information systems (IS) research has taken a limited theoretical focus on the information technology (IT ...

Affording Design, Affording Redesign
2014Thinking quickly overwhelms the mind, and the mind expands into the world. The mind creates a range of cognitive tools to represent thought. Sketches are among the most prevalent and productive ways to make thought visible to self and others and to promote creative thought.

Interacting with Computers, 2005
The concept of affordance is relatively easy to define, but has proved to be remarkably difficult to engineer. This paradox has sparked numerous debates as to its true nature. The discussion presented here begins with a review of the use of the term from which emerges evidence for a two-fold classification-simple affordance and complex affordance ...

Affordances elude ontology. They have been recognized to play a role in categorization, especially of artifacts, but also of natural features. Yet, attempts to ontologize them face problems ranging from their presumed subjective nature to the fact that they involve potential actions, not objects or properties.

Complex affordance learning based on basic affordances
2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2014In this paper, we study how complex object affor-dances can be efficiently learned and how previously learned structures can be used for this purpose. We discuss that besides standard visual features, using previously learned basic affor-dances in predicting complex affordances would speed up this complex learning task. In order to prove our hypothesis,

Autonomous Robots, 2018
As robots start to interact with their environments, they need to reason about the affordances of objects in those environments. In most cases, affordances can be inferred only from parts of objects, such as the blade of a knife for cutting or the head of a hammer for pounding.

Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems Reaching through technology - CHI '91, 1991
Ecological approaches to psychology suggest succinct accounts of easily-used artifacts. Affordances are properties of the world that are compatible with and relevant for people's interactions. When affordances are perceptible, they offer a direct link between perception and action; hidden and false affordances lead to mistakes.
