    "title": "Dynamics of Affordance Actualization",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The actualization of affordances can often be accomplished in\nnumerous, equifinal ways. For instance, an individual could\ndiscard an item in a rubbish bin by walking over and dropping\nit, or by throwing it from a distance. The aim of the current\nstudy was to investigate the behavioral dynamics associated\nwith such metastability using a ball-to-bin transportation task.\nUsing time-interval between sequential ball-presentation as a\ncontrol parameter, participants transported balls from a\npickup location to a drop-off bin 9m away. A high degree of\nvariability in task-actualization was expected and found, and\nthe Cusp Catatrophe model was used to understand how this\nbehavioral variability emerged as a function of hard (time\ninterval) and soft (e.g. motivation) task dynamic constraints.\nSimulations demonstrated that this two parameter state\nmanifold could capture the wide range of participant\nbehaviors, and explain how these behaviors naturally emerge\nin an under-constrained task context.",
