The concept of affordance is popular in the HCI community but not well understood. Donald Norman appropriated the concept of affordances from James J. Gibson for the design of common objects and both implicitly and explicitly adjusted the meaning given by Gibson. There was, however, ambiguity in Norman’s original definition and use of affordances which he has subsequently made efforts to clarify. His definition germinated quickly and through a review of the HCI literature we show that this…

Affordances in HCI: toward a mediated action perspective
TLDR
It is held that the Gibsonian concept of affordances, conceptualized as interaction between animals and their environments, provides some important insights, but is, in the end, of limited relevance to HCI research.
Conceptualizing design affordances from a cognitive perspective
The term affordance carries multiple meanings for designers. Traditionally, affordances were discussed within a Gibsonian framework as arising from direct perception of physical constraints. However,…
The Affordances of Broken Affordances
TLDR
It is argued that a thorough analyses of breakdowns of affordances and their associated signifiers and feedbacks have implication for design, particularly so for virtual artefacts, and that there is a largely unexplored design space for designing, and redesigning objects with broken affordances, rather than broken or decayed objects.
Organizational Affordances: A Structuration Theory Approach to Affordances
Affordance is an important concept in the field of human–computer interaction. There are various interpretations of affordances, often extending the original notion of James J. Gibson. Often the…
Cognitive, physical, sensory, and functional affordances in interaction design
TLDR
This article argues that the concept of physical affordance carries a mandatory component of utility or purposeful action (functional affordance) and provides guidelines to help designers think about how these four kinds of affordance work together naturally in contextualized HCI design or evaluation.
Understanding the Actualization of Affordances: A Study in the Process Modeling Context
TLDR
A model is developed that describes the process by which affordances are perceived and actualized and their dependence on information and actualization effort and is illustrated in the context of conceptual process models used by analysts for purposes of information systems analysis and design.
Explicating Affordances: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Affordances in Communication Research
This study aims to clarify inconsistencies regarding the term affordances by examining how affordances terminology is used in empirical research on communication and technology. Through an analysis…
‘Affordance’ - what does this mean?
The growing use of the concept of an affordance raises questions about its meaning and has led to much debate. This exploratory evaluation of usage reveals divergent meanings, exposes tensions and…
Meaning through doing: The role of affordances over time
In Gibson’s theory of perception, an organism directly perceives the value of the environment through affordances. By affordance, Gibson means the opportunities or possibilities of nature, which…
Applicability of affordance concept in user-computer interaction
TLDR

Affordance, conventions, and design
TLDR
I was quietly lurking in the background of a CHI-Web discussion, when I lost all reason: I just couldn't take it anymore, and out came this article: I don't know if it changed anyone's minds, but it brought the discussion to a halt (not what good list managers want to happen).
