1.For the definition of affordance:
The relationship between the object and the person (discover the function of an object, a collection of rich use performance on an object, can analyze its characteristics and let people understand how to use it)
The afundance of “book”
“The value of a well-designed object is that it has a wealth of affordance, and people who use it can use it to do things that designers have never imagined.” This sentence made me feel very inspired. I can understand that the potential and value of the objects we design are unlimited in future applications. When we design, we may only think about a single purpose, but the user’s exploration of the object is beyond imagination.

2.Expanded understanding of perceived affordance:
【1】perceived affordance makes design intuitive: fuzzy design is only rational and logical, while a really good design can be intuitive to understand how to use it without additional explanation.
【2】 True affordance closely related to physical constraints, and a good mental model is closely related to logical constraints, while cultural constraints are actually a common practice shared by social groups.
【3】Affordance divided into four types: cognitive, physical, sensory and functional.
【4】Affordance should be analyzed from two levels: artifact level and practice level.
【5】The complete separation of affordance and perception will mean going to the opposite, equally unwelcome extreme.
【6】The basic principles of ecological psychology can allow existence perception to be indirect, and visual language representations can be directly perceived.
【7】 For individual animals, the ability to perceive affordance is not taken for granted, but an achievement, the result of learning and development.
【8】 The future of affordance and related concepts in HCI will mainly depend on whether they can be clearly defined and show actual relevance.
