Gibson and Gibson provided quite a few ideas for how infants (economically) perceive their world. To apply their theory, give some (2+) examples of affordances (or other developmental trends described by Gibson) that you have encountered in infants and young children. If you are having trouble thinking of examples, YouTube has many channels dedicated to kids learning and interacting with their world (and you can insert the videos directly into your post).
One example of affordances that I experienced while working with 5 year olds as a camp counselor on a farm and wilderness area was with animals. For many children, it was their first experience interacting with farm animals, and it seemed that they afforded the action of petting with certain animals such as pigs and goats. It was really cool to facilitate this experience with kids and see them progress from reluctant to comfortable with petting big animals. For some, it seemed that the action of petting was what these animals are for, and when educating them about the animals, they didn't like the fact that we use these animals for different actions, such as butchering them for meat. Also, in reference to the entire environment of the farm, many kids began to associate the farm with actions such as interacting with friends and animals, and hiking in the wilderness, because that is what we did with the kids at camp. It was really interesting to see the kids associate certain specific actions with things and the environment.
