To Afford or Not to Afford: A New Formalization of Affordances Toward Affordance-Based Robot Control
Adaptive Behavior, 2007The concept of affordances was introduced by J. J. Gibson to eXplain how inherent “values” and “meanings” of things in the environment can be directly perceived and how this information can be linked to the action possibilities offered to the organism by the environment. Although introduced in psychology, the concept influenced studies in other fields

Affordance Types and Affordance Tokens: Are Gibson’s Affordances Trustworthy?
Ecological Psychology, 2018Late in their paper on hypersets, Chemero and Turvey characterize affordances as “quicksilvery,” prone to rapid appearance and disappearance.

Perceiving affordances: A computational investigation of grasping affordances
Cognitive Systems Research, 2011The Grasping Affordance Model (GAM) introduced here provides a computational account of perceptual processes enabling one to identify grasping action possibilities from visual scenes. GAM identifies the core of affordance perception with visuo-motor transformations enabling one to associate features of visually presented objects to a collection of hand

Neutral affordances: Task conflict in the affordances task
Consciousness and Cognition, 2022Task conflict emerges when a stimulus triggers two or more competing tasks. To date, task conflict has been studied mainly using the color-word Stroop task. We hypothesized that task conflict also emerges in the affordances task between the goal-directed relevant task (e.g., classifying manipulable objects such as cups and pots), and the automatic ...

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

Characterising affordances: The descriptions-of-affordances-model
Design Studies, 2012Artefacts offer opportunities for action, ‘affordances’, that can be described on various levels, from manipulations (‘pushing a button’) to social activities (‘dialling a friend’). However, research in design into affordances has not investigated what an ‘action’ is, nor has it distinguished those levels.

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.

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.

Affordances are a central concept of J.J. Gibson's approach to visual perception. We describe and discuss the concept of affordances with a brief look at its application to robotics, as well as provide an overview of several existing formalizations.

Synthese, 2019
What are the affordances of artifacts? One view is that the affordances of artifacts, just as the affordances of natural objects, pertain to possible ways in which they can be manipulated (e.g., a computer keyboard affords grasping). Another view maintains that, given that artifacts are sociocultural objects, their affordances pertain primarily to ...
