Ye et al. (2009) showed that the perception of one affordance of an artifact can decrease the likelihood of detecting a second affordance when neither affordance supports the function for which the object was designed. The current study examined the proposal that experience using tools and artifacts designed to perform multiple functions might play a role in that finding. In Experiment 1, American and Chinese students at Miami University were presented with collections of artifacts, such that one-third had only the affordance 1 (e.g., scoop-with), another third had only affordance 2 (e.g., pierce-with) and the remaining objects had both affordances. Neither affordance was the one for which the artifacts had been designed. Tasks 1 and 2 required participants to judge which objects had affordances 1 and 2, respectively. The results showed the perception of first affordance decreased the likelihood of identifying the second affordance for objects with both affordances, though the magnitude of the difference was significantly larger for the American students. This difference between the two groups of students disappeared when the task required students to use the objects to perform a goal-directed activity (Experiments 2 and 3). When the same grip was used for both actions, both Chinese and American students were likely to spontaneously use the object for both tasks. But when a different grip would be used, participants were far more likely to miss the second affordance of the object. These findings suggest that the perception of a complex affordance entails the perception of the nesting of affordances for component actions, such as how an object can be reached for, grasped (grip and location of hand placement) and wielded. These results are discussed with respect to the embodiment of perception as situated in the actor's goal directed activities and the involvement of the dorsal and ventral streams in the visual system.
