The concept of affordances is being increasingly used in fields
beyond ecological psychology to reveal previously unexplored
interdisciplinary relationships. These fields include engineering,
robotics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, urban theory,
architecture, computer science, and much more. As the concept is
adapted for its relational meaning between an agent and the
environment, or object, the meaning of the term has changed to fit
the customs of the adapting field. This book maps the different
shades of the term and brings insights into how it is
operationalized by providing short accessible essays regardless of
background. Each contribution addresses big questions around this
topic such as the application of the concept on ongoing research,
how to measure or identify affordances, as well as other reflective
questions about the future of affordances in the field. The book is
envisioned to be read by non-experts, students, and researchers
from several disciplines, and fills the need for summarization
across disciplines. As the many adaptations flourished from the
same psychological concept, this book also aims to function as a
catalyst and motivation for reinterpreting the concepts for new
directions. Compared to existing books, this book aims not to span
the vertical dimension of field by taking a deep dive into a
niche-field-instead, this book aims to have a wide horizontal span
highlighting a common concept shared by an increasing number of
fields, namely affordances. As such, this book takes a different
approach by attempting to summarize the different emerging
applications and definitions of the concept, and make them
accessible to non-experts, students, and researchers regardless of
background and level.
