"I know the term comes from engineering"...

I thought the term originated in perception psychology? J. J. Gibson's "The
Ecological Approach to Visual Perception" (1977) and all that?

Best,

Jesper.

Dear AIR-ERS -

I have some colleagues here who have recently become interested in the
concept of affordances (they are working in the field of visual arts).

I know the term comes from engineering but if anyone has the primary
reference at their fingertips it would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Denise
