Article Synopsis
- Ecological psychology examines how organisms interact with their environments, providing insights into children's behaviors and perceptions.
- This study focuses on two key concepts: affordance, which looks at how children perceive the usefulness of their surroundings, and behavior setting, which studies the relationship between children's behaviors and environmental features.
- Existing research often misses the importance of children's immediate actions and the dynamic nature of their environments, so this study suggests a new framework to better understand these interactions, especially in childcare settings.
