This article is excellent and full of information, but it is difficult to follow for someone who is not familiar with the topic.

Please re-write with more context and a basic summary of the concepts at the beginning.--Outlander 16:15, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ?

Also, a dentist’s office which is devoid of any patient would also be a meaningless artifact, destined to quietly sink into entropy.

Perhaps it is my ignorance of the subject, but could someone please explain to me what that sentence is supposed to mean? --Deville (Talk) 01:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

There is a link to [[Development]] on this page that is linking to a disambiguation page. I'm not sure which (if any) of the more specific pages on types of development would be a better link in this context. Could someone please review the choices available and either re-direct the link or delete it? Thanks.—Chidom ^talk 22:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barker and Gibson

I've never heard of Barker. The author mentions "affordances", a concept widely believed to have been coined by J. J. Gibson, who explicitly claimed he invented it. An article on ecological psychology should at least clarify the relationship with Gibson's work.

The connection is being discussed by M. M. Scott in "A POWERFUL THEORY AND A PARADOX, Ecological Psychologists After Barker" ENVIRONMENT AND BEHAVIOR, Vol. 37 No. 3, May 2005295-329 DOI:10.1177/0013916504270696

Scott also notes that Heft (2001) wrote a book relating Barker and Gibson's work with each other.

Heft,H.(2001).Ecologicalpsychologyincontext:JamesGibson,RogerBarker,andtheLegacy of William James’s radical empiricism. Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum.

Maybe either Scott or Heft should be approached to provide better context for this article.
