this study aimed to investigate the spatial perception and evaluation of the place-based affordance of mosques in tehran. reviewing the literature and applying gibson`s affordance and canter`s place theory, the new model called place-based affordance is proposed. in this model, each location contains two potential types of symbolic and behavioural affordance. accordingly, throughout history, be...

the interaction between users and products, is one of the key factors in design process and assessment of products too. because design for user’s perception, is a specific and technical issue. designers refer to psychology and psychological theories to understand how on the one hand, form and other physical characteristics, and on the other hand, user intentions and values, affect the interacti...

Affordance perception is critical to adaptive behavior. It comprises the ability to evaluate whether the environment and the actor's capabilities enable particular actions. It remains unclear how brain damage and its behavioral sequela impact this ability. Two affordance based judgment tasks were applied in healthy young adults that were adapted for prospective diagnostic purposes in patients. ...

Given that a user interface interacts with users, a critical factor to be considered for improving the usability of e-learning content user interface is to design a more affordable user interface. Most studies on affordance are limited to the examination for the affordance of e-learning tools rather than the systematic design of such affordance. Using the approach of Maier and Fadel’s affordanc...

How to enable students to create a personalized learning environment? What are the criteria of evaluation of the ICT-based learning process personalization affordance? These questions are answered by conducting multiple case study research of the innovative ICT-based learning process in iTEC (Innovative Technologies for Engaging Classrooms) project in Lithuania. Analysis of the research data le...

Affordances--possibilities for action--are constrained by the match between actors and their environments. For motor decisions to be adaptive, affordances must be detected accurately. Three experiments examined the correspondence between motor decisions and affordances as participants reached through apertures of varying size. A psychophysical procedure was used to estimate an affordance thresh...
