Laquo; Creativity and Cognition 2009. The next time you are about to use the word “affordance”, please stop and check if the word “cue” would work instead. Because if it would, then:. 1 you are using an obscure technical term for something that already has a perfectly good plain English word, and. 2 you are using that technical term incorrectly.
