        abstract = {Affordances are a term originally coined by a psychologist, J.J. Gibson, in the 1970s. He defined it as the relationship between an environment and an actor. In today’s world, affordances extend beyond behavioral or cognitive psychology and delve deep into the design of digital and physical products. Good affordances aid successful interactions between products in the physical and the digital world. Therefore, Understanding the relationship between affordances and user experience is essential for creating interfaces that are intuitive, usable, and enjoyable for users. This paper aims to explore the relationship between affordances and user experience in a digital interface by reviewing current literature and examining case studies of interfaces that have successfully incorporated affordances into their design. Through this analysis, we aim to provide a better understanding of the impact of affordances on UX, how it affects cognitive load and usability in the experience.},
