Abstract An earlier study on the attractiveness of stepping stones configurations revealed that children like variation in stone height better than variation in stone size or gap width. In the present study, we conducted two experiments to examine whether this preference is found also in young and older adults. In Experiment 1, participants stepped freely in a standardized configuration, and three configurations with either height, size or gap width variation. Most interestingly, adults judged playgrounds with variation in stone height as most fun and beautiful, suggesting that the preference for variation in height is indeed age independent. In Experiment 2, we compared the configuration with only height variation with three configurations in which variation in height was combined with variation in stone size or gap width, or both. Although we found no significant differences among the configurations in the older adults, young adults judged the combination of height with size and gap width variation as more fun and esthetically appealing than the configuration with only height variation. The implications of our findings for playground research and designers are discussed.

Abstract In my recent book Affective Gibsonian Psychology (2022), I made a relatively sharp distinction between affordances and invitations. I argued that to understand (some of) our behavior, we need to distinguish between the two. In the present paper, I develop the argument for this distinction a little further. It is argued that the concept of affordances aids in capturing the ecological values in the animals’ environments. This helps one to determine the adaptiveness and appropriateness of behavior. However, drawing upon examples from everyday life, it is argued that the concept of affordances does not suffice to account for our behavior. It needs to be complemented by the concept of the field of invitations. We are affective beings—the world always affects us, and it does so in a rich variety of ways. Hence, any psychology attempting to understand our everyday activity needs to capture how we are moved by the environment. I end with detailing the field of invitations.

Abstract Agency, the ability to negotiate one’s surroundings to bring about changes, is the defining feature of animacy. Because agency is embodied in each individual’s self, inquiry into agency is necessarily an inquiry into selfhood. William James divided selfhood into the self as “I” and the self as “me” with the I self being, in essence, an active agent responsible for thoughts and actions. In Gibson’s ecological paradigm, self plays a central role, being co-perceived with the environment. Neisser (1988), an advocate of Gibson, classified self via 5 different forms of self–knowledge, each portraying a different aspect of self. Of these, the ecological self is an agent that regulates its encounters with the surroundings based on affordances the environment offers, whereas the interpersonal self is an agent that interacts with conspecifics based on the mutual affordances their interactions offer. For interpersonal selves to interact effectively with each other necessitates that their shared environment becomes common knowledge to all participants, based on information determined in accordance with the principle of ecological optics (in particular, information about occluding edges, reversible occlusion, and opaque and non-opaque substances). We suggest that Gibson’s principles of ecological optics be extended to the social domain, as he envisioned.

Abstract We aim to design assistive robots that perceive people’s affordances in ways that are similar to how people perceive other people’s affordances. Toward that end, two experiments investigated what variables people pick up when perceiving actors’ maximum vertical one degree-of-freedom reach heights. In Experiment 1, point-light displays depicted actors who moved, were either tall or short, and had markers placed on either their whole body (head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, & ankles), upper body (head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, & hands), lower body (hips, knees, & ankles), or ankles. Participants instructed the experimenter to adjust an object’s height so that it was just reachable. Experiment 2 was identical except actors moved or were still. In both experiments, judgment error for the Full Body condition was not significantly different from that for the Upper or Lower Body conditions, but was significantly different from that for the Ankles condition. In Experiment 2, that result replicated when actors moved and when they were still. These results suggest participants may have picked up object height in relation to actor height. Implications about how people perceive other people’s maximum vertical one degree-of-freedom reach heights and how that might inform assistive robot design are discussed.
