In this paper we outline a framework for the study of the mechanisms involved in the engagement of human agents with cultural affordances. Our aim is to better understand how culture and context interact with human biology to shape human behavior, cognition, and experience. We attempt to integrate several related approaches in the study of the embodied, cognitive, and affective substrates of sociality and culture and the sociocultural scaffolding of experience. The integrative framework we propose bridges cognitive and social sciences to provide (i) an expanded concept of 'affordance' that extends to sociocultural forms of life, and (ii) a multilevel account of the socioculturally scaffolded forms of affordance learning and the transmission of affordances in patterned sociocultural practices and regimes of shared attention. This framework provides an account of how cultural content and normative practices are built on a foundation of contentless basic mental processes that acquire content through immersive participation of the agent in social practices that regulate joint attention and shared intentionality.
在本文中，我们概述了一个用于研究人类主体与文化可供性相关机制的框架。我们的目标是更好地理解文化和背景如何与人类生物学相互作用，从而塑造人类行为、认知和体验。我们试图整合社会和文化的具身性、认知性及情感性基础以及经验的社会文化支架研究中的几种相关方法。我们提出的综合框架架起了认知科学与社会科学之间的桥梁，以提供：（i）一个扩展的“可供性”概念，其延伸至社会文化生活形式；（ii）对社会文化支架式可供性学习形式以及在有模式的社会文化实践和共享注意力机制中可供性传递的多层次解释。该框架阐述了文化内容和规范实践是如何建立在无内容的基本心理过程基础之上的，这些基本心理过程通过主体沉浸式参与调节共同注意力和共享意向性的社会实践来获取内容。
