Affordance is a crucial concept in User Experience (UX) design, initially developed by psychologist James J. Gibson and later refined by cognitive scientist Don Norman. It describes the inherent properties of objects or interfaces that suggest possible actions to users. This guide helps users intuitively understand how to interact with a product, thereby enhancing usability and accessibility. Well-designed affordances merge visual cues with users' prior experiences, minimizing confusion during navigation and enabling a seamless interaction with digital environments.
Affordance, a term introduced by psychologist James J. Gibson in the 1960s, has evolved into a cornerstone of User Experience (UX) design, emphasizing intuitive design elements.
By leveraging affordances effectively, UX designers create intuitive, efficient, and accessible digital experiences that guide users naturally toward intended actions without confusion.
