Prompt 10/14/13

Gibson’s theory of affordance basically states that perception drives action.    It is a child’s perception of an object that drives them to action.  A knob affords twisting, a button affords pushing, and a chord affords pulling.  Many of the toys manufactured today allow children to explore different aspects of these toys each time the perform one of these actions.  Once they have mastered one level they advance to the next level.
