On the Proper Treatment of Affordance: Formality or Mutuality?

Pages 71-77 | Published online: 08 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

What distinguishes affordances from events depends on the capacities of the perceiver, in the sense of distinction between open versus closed behavioral programs (Popper, 1978, p. 353). Recent evolutionary history has rendered human perceptual capacities uniquely open. As well as formalization, deeper consideration of mutuality relations will enrich the concept of affordance and link the ecological approach to recent developments in psychology.
