Definition
The perceived possibilities for action that an object or environment offers to an organism, based on its properties and the organism's capabilities.
Etymology
From 'afford' (to provide) + '-ance.' Coined by psychologist James J. Gibson in 1977.
Kelly Says
An affordance is what an object invites you to do — a handle says 'grab me,' a button says 'push me,' a chair says 'sit on me!'
