"This edited collection provides a comprehensive and empirically informed discussion on affordances and their role in studying goal-directed behavior, covering philosophical, experimental psychological, neuroscientific, and applied perspectives. This book serves as a crucial resource for seasoned scientists, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of ecological psychology, sensation and perception, cognition and the philosophy of cognitive science, as well as non-academic individuals interested in mind sciences broadly construed. It provides valuable insights and knowledge in these fields, making it an essential reference for those seeking to deepen their understanding in the areas of perception and cognition"-- Provided by publisher.
