Affordances can invite behavior: Reconsidering the relationship between affordances and agency

TL;DR: This article argued that affordances are not mere action possibilities but that they can also invite behavior and suggested a mutualist perspective on invitations, suggesting that they depend on the animal-environment relationship in multiple dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of feedback information for calibration and attunement in perceiving length by dynamic touch

TL;DR: The results suggest that attunement and calibration are dissociable processes and that feedback informs which is needed to induce reattunement.
Journal ArticleDOI

The empowering variability of affordances of nature: Why do exercisers feel better after performing the same exercise in natural environments than in indoor environments?

TL;DR: In this paper, an ecological dynamics perspective adopts as its unit of analysis the person-environment system, where individuals and environments co-influence each other in a relational, transactional manner, rather than existing independently.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inviting affordances and agency

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw upon phenomenology to reveal what it means for an agent to be invited by affordances and sketch a dynamical model of the animal-environment relationship that aims to do justice to this analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual differences in learning to perceive length by dynamic touch: evidence for variation in perceptual learning capacities.

TL;DR: It is concluded that humans vary in their perceptual learning capacities by investigating the perceptual learning trajectories of a considerable number of participants using the paradigm of length perception by dynamic touch.
