Question

What makes a chair a chair? Cognitive psychology has a long history of studying the nature of categorical knowledge. There are many different types of chairs, and they vary quite a bit in their appearance and specific characteristics, yet all are easily recognizable as chairs (recall some of the theories discussion in Chapter 5 about object recognition). Even some things that are not items of furniture can be called chairs, such as a ledge, or a tree stump. Hence it is difficult to define a chair using concrete and specific characteristics like having 4 legs, a seat, a seat-back, armrests, etc. Gibson’s theory of affordances provides a different way to think about this problem. How could you apply the notion of an affordance to defining the concept of chair? What other categories can be defined in terms of affordances
