Affordances (Prestaciones)

Resumen

Las affordances son propiedades de un objeto que sugieren cómo puede ser usado. Un botón que parece presionable tiene buena affordance. Los usuarios deberían saber qué hacer sin instrucciones.

Origen

  • Autor: James J. Gibson (original), Don Norman (aplicación al diseño)
  • Año: 1966 (Gibson), 1988 (Norman)
  • Fuente: "The Design of Everyday Things" - Don Norman

Tipos de Affordances

Affordances Físicas (Gibson)

  • Propiedades reales del objeto
  • Una silla "afford" sentarse
  • Relación entre actor y objeto

Affordances Percibidas (Norman)

  • Lo que el usuario cree que puede hacer
  • Más relevante para UI digital
  • Señales visuales que sugieren uso

Signifiers

  • Señales explícitas de cómo usar algo
  • Labels, iconos, instrucciones
  • Complementan affordances implícitas

Aplicación en Diseño

Botones

  • Aspecto 3D o sombreado sugiere "presionable"
  • Estados hover que invitan al click
  • Tamaño táctil adecuado
  • Color que indica interactividad
  • Subrayado o color distintivo
  • Cursor que cambia a pointer
  • Estados visited diferenciados
  • Texto que sugiere acción

Formularios

  • Campos con borde que invita a escribir
  • Placeholders que muestran formato esperado
  • Labels claros de qué introducir
  • Checkboxes que parecen marcables

  • ❌ Links que no parecen links
  • ❌ Botones planos sin estado hover
  • ❌ Áreas clickeables sin señales visuales
  • ❌ Texto interactivo sin diferenciación
  • ❌ Controles que no sugieren su función

Métricas

  • First Click Accuracy: Clicks correctos sin ayuda
  • Error Rate: Clicks en áreas no interactivas
  • Time to First Interaction: Tiempo para primera acción
