Social affordances in context: What is it that we are bodily responsive to?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences (forthcoming)
| Abstract | We propose to understand social affordances in the broader context of responsiveness to a field of relevant affordances in general. This perspective clarifies our everyday ability to unreflectively switch between social and other affordances. Moreover, based on our experience with Deep Brain Stimulation for treating OCD patients, we suggest that psychiatric disorders may affect affordance-responsiveness, including responsiveness to social affordances. | |||||||||
