Abstract

Gibson's seminal concept of affordance could have real design power if it could be adequately explained as a phenomenon that happens within the scale of human lifetime. Today there is a growing number of neurophysiological and behavioral studies that shown that the intuition of Gibson was just a starting point for a more elaborated theory of affordances.
