CogSci 3790: Introduction to Cognitive Science

Several people (including those who may have missed a quiz) wanted to know about the extra credit assignment. Here it is. It is based on the embodied cognition article that we were going to read this week, and so you may want to come to Wedesday office hours if you need some help:

1. Describe and discuss six different affordances that you use on an everyday basis.

2. Describe 2 false affordances that you’ve encountered.

UPDATE: This assignment is due by Friday at 5 pm. Please send via email using a format similar to that for the previous assignments.

UPDATE #2: The regular link for the embodied cognition article seems to be down. Try this link instead. You might also want to look at the lecture on Gibson and affordances.
