Wang et al.’s (2024) article is relevant due to several reasons. The obvious is previous work’s replication and expansion (Djebbara et al., 2019, 2021) by exploring how different forms of movement (walking/keyboard press) and environments (3D/2D) affect affordance perception. Replication and expansion using diverse populations and contexts is highly relevant to the still fledgling fields of Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) and Neuroarchitecture; it should be facilitated and encouraged. Importantly, implementing a multi-article scalable experimental design (SED) heuristic (Parada, 2018). Furthermore -from our perspective- offers evidence supporting the 4E-Cognition perspective on how natural, built, digital, and symbolic (NaBDS) environments impact cognition. Even though we promote the 3E-Cognition principles for applied neuroscience (e.g. neuroarchitecture) (Parada et al., 2023), here we will nevertheless contextualize Wang et al.’s findings within the broader perspective offered by 4E-Cognition (Figure 1). We will use each 4E principle as guiding lines.
