“theoretical developments have been made concerning the concept of affordances in order for it to be applicable to more socio-cultural aspects of human and animal activities (Chemero 2003a, 2009; Heft 2001; Reed 1996; Rietveld and Kiverstein 2014; Stoffregen 2003).”

“Work by Rietveld (2008, 2012) and by Withagen et al. (2012, 2017) has shown that ecological psychology needs to distinguish between “affordances” and “invitations” or “solicitations”.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
