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...

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...

In reaction to Norman’s (1999) essay on misuse of the term affordance in human-computer interaction literature, this article is a concept paper affirming the importance of this powerful concept, reinforcing Norman’s distinctions of terminology, and expanding on the usefulness of the concepts in terms of their application to interaction design and evaluation. We define and use four complementary...

This paper is a comparative study of gestural interaction with musical sound, designed to gain insight into the notion of musical affordance on interactive music systems. We conducted an interview base user study trialing three accelerometer based devices, an iPhone, a Wii-mote, and an Axivity Wax prototype, with four kinds of musical sound, including percussion, stringed instruments, and voice...

High affordance stimuli are associated with an enhancement in the activation of the corresponding motor programs. Such over-activation of motor programs may imply a decrease in performances based on inhibitory control. However, recent data suggest that high affordance stimuli are associated with a widespread privileged neural activation that goes beyond motor representations. In this case, we c...
