Abstract

In Gibson’s theory of ecological visual perception, “affordance” is perhaps the most controversial concept. Concrete meaning of affordance should be researched adequately. According to Gibson’s original theories, the concept reflects the relationship between organisms and environment, but it refers to feature of environment itself. Clear definition of affordance is conducive to avoid philosophical relativism.
