Affordances and development: Distinguishing ecological and standard evolutionary psychology approaches

Our objective is twofold: (1) to advise the authors to engage more fully with the tenets of ecological psychology, from which the term "affordance" originates, and (2) to note that the article's framing aligns with traditional evolutionary psychology, rebranding modular, information-processing, and gene-centric assumptions in ecological language. This does not deny that affordances are central to explaining behavioral change across life stages.
